pass「通る」＋over「越えて」が形に見える語で、出エジプト記で災いがイスラエル人の家を「過ぎ越した」故事と結びつきます。通常は Passover と大文字にし、祝祭の食事 Seder、the exodus from Egypt、春の家族行事という場面を一緒に覚えましょう。
The English form Passover visibly combines pass and over, matching the biblical account in which destruction passed over the homes of the Israelites. Use that concrete image to connect the name with the Jewish festival commemorating liberation from Egypt. The word is normally capitalized because it names a particular religious observance. Also learn its typical context: Passover occurs in spring, families retell the Exodus story, and a ceremonial meal is called a Seder. These associations distinguish the festival from the ordinary phrasal verb “pass over,” meaning to cross or overlook something.
例文

エクソダスの祭り
A major Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in Egypt, as recounted in Exodus. It is observed through traditions including a ceremonial meal and the eating of unleavened bread.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
出エジプト記で災いがイスラエル人の家を「通り過ぎた」という説明と pass over を結び付ける。祭日の名称は Passover と大文字にし、celebrate Passover、during Passover、Passover meal の形で覚える。過越祭では matzo などの無酵母パンが重要になる。
Break the name into pass and over, then connect it with the Exodus account in which destruction passed over the homes of the Israelites. That historical-religious connection is the real memory anchor, not a sound-based trick. As the festival’s name, Passover normally begins with a capital P. Learn natural combinations such as celebrate Passover, during Passover, a Passover meal, and Passover traditions. Also associate it with the Seder and matzo, the unleavened bread eaten during the festival. These details distinguish Passover from a general holiday or an unrelated use of the verb pass over.
例文
Many Jewish families celebrate Passover with special meals.

During Passover, bread is replaced with unleavened bread.

passover の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヘブライ語 pesach（過ぎ越す）の英訳で、pass（通過する）+ over（越えて）の直訳。出エジプト記で神がイスラエル人の家を「過ぎ越した」故事に由来する。関連語：pass（通過する）、overpass（陸橋）。災いが頭上を通り過ぎるという原義が祭りの名となった。
Passover is the traditional English name associated with Hebrew Pesach, the biblical festival commemorating the Exodus from Egypt. The English compound pass plus over reflects the wording used to describe God passing over the Israelites’ houses during the final plague in the Exodus narrative. Through biblical translation and Christian English usage, this explanatory phrase became established as the proper name Passover. It is therefore conventionally written with an initial capital when referring to the festival.
