覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 paddle の過去形・過去分詞で、語末が無音の e なので -d だけを加えて paddled となり、語尾は /d/ と発音します。paddled across the lake、paddled along the river、paddled for two hours の型で、パドルを使って舟やカヌーを「漕いだ」場面を覚えましょう。pedaled「ペダルをこいだ」との綴りの違いにも注意します。
Start with paddle, the verb for moving a small boat by using a paddle. Because the base form already ends in silent e, only -d is added: paddle becomes paddled. The ending is pronounced /d/, with no extra syllable. Attach the form to route and duration patterns such as “paddled across the lake,” “paddled along the river,” and “paddled for two hours.” These phrases match typical canoeing and kayaking scenes. Be careful not to confuse paddled with pedaled: paddled concerns a paddle and water, while pedaled concerns pedals on a bicycle or machine.

paddled の語源・成り立ち Etymology
paddled は、語末が無音の e で終わる paddle に -d を加えた規則的な過去形・過去分詞です。paddle は中英語 padell（へら状の道具）にさかのぼるとされますが、それ以前の語源は確定していません。平たい道具を表す語との関連説はありますが、pedal とは語源的に別です。
Paddled is the regular past tense and past participle of paddle, formed by adding -d to a base ending in silent e. The detailed origin of paddle is uncertain. It is often connected with words for a small spade or similarly broad, flat implement, possibly including Medieval Latin padela. The semantic link is the paddle’s flat blade, which pushes against water. Because the historical route is not fully established, this physical resemblance is safer than claiming a definite single source.
