覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 part に -ed を付けた規則変化で、過去形・過去分詞とも parted、発音は /ˈpɑːrtɪd/ のように -ed を /ɪd/ と発音します。parted friends「別れた友人」、parted hair「分けた髪」、curtains parted「カーテンが左右に開いた」と、離れる像を共通の核にします。
Start with the base verb part, meaning “to separate or move away,” and add the regular ending -ed. Because part ends in a /t/ sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/: parted has two syllables. Keep one central picture—two sides moving away from each other. Friends parted at an airport, curtains parted to reveal a stage, and neatly parted hair all share that picture. As an adjective, parted describes the resulting separated state; as a verb form, it reports that the separation happened in the past.

parted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
parted は part に過去分詞・形容詞を作る -ed が付いた語。part は古フランス語を通じてラテン語 partiri / pars（分ける・部分）にさかのぼり、「分けられた」から「別れた」という意味になる。関連語は depart, partition。
Parted is formed from part plus the regular past-tense and past-participle suffix -ed. Part entered English through Old French and is ultimately connected with Latin pars, meaning “part” or “portion,” and partire or partiri, meaning “to divide.” The movement from “divide into parts” to “separate” and then “say goodbye” is straightforward. Related formations such as depart and partition preserve the same basic notion of division or separation.
