perfected の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語「perficere」(完全にやり遂げる)の過去分詞「perfectus」から。「per-」(完全に)+「facere」(する・作る)の構成。関連語にperfection(完璧)、factory(工場=作る場所)。「完全にやり切った状態」が原義。
Perfect ultimately comes from Latin perfectus, the past participle of perficere, “to complete or accomplish.” That verb combines per-, conveying completion, with facere, “to do or make.” English later developed perfect as both an adjective and a verb. Perfected is the regular past form and past participle of that verb, formed with -ed, and its adjectival use describes the resulting state after something has been completed or thoroughly refined.
