覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 notch「刻み目をつける」に -ed を加えた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 ch が無声音 /tʃ/ のため -ed は /t/ と発音し、全体は /nɒtʃt/ です。棒に日数を刻む、梁をはめるため切り込むなど、「縁や表面から小さく削って目印や接合部を作る」場面で覚えます。
Connect notched with the base verb notch, meaning to make a small cut or indentation. It is formed by adding -ed; because notch ends in the voiceless /tʃ/ sound, the ending is pronounced /t/, giving /nɒtʃt/ in British English. Picture someone cutting marks into a wooden stick to count days or shaping a beam so that another piece fits securely. Unlike scratched, which suggests a surface line, notched usually implies a small piece cut from an edge or a distinct indentation.
例文

The carpenter notched the beam so it would fit securely.
大工は梁がしっかり合うように切り込みを入れた。

notched の語源・成り立ち Etymology
notched は notch「刻み目」に -ed が付いた形で、語幹 notch は中英語を経て古フランス語 oche／noche 系にさかのぼるとされます。つまり「切れ込みを入れた」という意味で、notch や nock と並べると、物に小さな欠け目を作る感覚がよく見えます。
Notched is the past-tense and past-participle form of notch, created with the regular suffix -ed. Notch entered English in the Middle English period and is generally connected with Anglo-French or Old French forms referring to a cut or indentation. The noun came to denote a V-shaped or narrow cut, and the corresponding verb means to make one. The precise earlier development of the initial n is not completely certain.
