覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
partook は partake の過去形。まず take→took の不規則変化を思い出し、part を合わせて「一部を取った」→「その場に加わった」とつなげると残りやすいです。take part in を知っていれば、意味はかなり近いと考えられます。participated より少し文語・硬めで、partook in the ceremony、partook of the meal のように、式典・会食・楽しみを「共にした」「口にした」場面で出やすい語です。took part と似ていますが、partook は一語の過去形だと意識すると混同しにくくなります。
Treat it as `partake` changing like `take` changes to `took`. That makes `partook` easier to recognize as the past form. If you already know `take part in`, you can use that as a memory bridge, though `partook` sounds more formal.
