覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
phases は phase「段階・局面」の複数形です。語末が /z/ 音なので -s が /ɪz/ となり、phase /feɪz/ に対して phases /ˈfeɪzɪz/ と一音節増えます。three phases、different phases、the next phases のように、計画や成長が複数の区切りを経る場面で覚えましょう。
Phases is the plural of phase, meaning a distinct stage in a larger process. Because phase ends with the /z/ sound, the plural ending adds /ɪz/: phase is /feɪz/, while phases is /ˈfeɪzɪz/, with an extra syllable. Picture a project divided into labeled sections and learn combinations such as three phases, different phases, and the next phases of the plan. A phase is usually one recognizable period, whereas a step often suggests a more specific action to be completed.
例文

そのプロジェクトには3つの段階があります。

子どもは成長する中で多くの段階を経験します。

phases の語源・成り立ち Etymology
phase はギリシャ語 phasis「現れ・見え方」に由来し、ラテン語・フランス語を経て英語に入り、phases はその複数形です。phenomenon や emphasis と遠い同根で、物事が順に「姿を現す段階」と考えると、フェーズの意味がつかみやすいです。
Phase comes through French and Latin from Greek phasis, meaning an appearance or manifestation, especially the appearance of a celestial body. The term was used for the changing visible forms of the moon and was later extended to any distinguishable stage in a recurring change, development, or process. Phases is the regular plural, with -s pronounced as an additional /ɪz/ syllable after final /z/.
