覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
outlined は outline「輪郭を描く・要点を述べる」の規則変化で、過去形・過去分詞とも outline に -d を付け、語末は /d/ と発音します。細部を埋めず外枠だけ示す絵から、plan や idea の主要点を簡潔に示した場面へ結び付けましょう。
Think of an outline as the outer line of a drawing: it shows the essential shape without filling in every detail. The verb extends that image to ideas and plans, so someone who outlined a proposal stated its main points briefly and clearly. Outlined is the regular past tense and past participle of outline; because outline already ends in silent e, only -d is added, and the ending is pronounced /d/. Useful combinations include “outlined the plan,” “outlined her idea,” and “outlined the main problems.”

outlined の語源・成り立ち Etymology
out-（外）＋line（線）の動詞形の過去分詞。元は「外側の輪郭線を描く」意で、16世紀に美術用語として定着後、「要点を示す・概説する」へ意味が拡張した。関連語: outline（輪郭）、contour（等高線）。
Outline combines out with line and originally referred to a line marking the outer boundary or contour of a figure. The noun became established in artistic contexts and then developed the figurative sense of a general plan or summary. From this came the verb meaning “draw the boundary of” and, by extension, “state the principal points.” Outlined is its regular past and past-participle form.
