覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 poke「指や棒で軽く突く」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。語末の /k/ は無声音なので -ed は /t/ と発音し、/poʊkt/ となります。poke a button、poke the fire、poke a hole のように、「先端を一点に当てる」場面を目的語と一緒に覚えましょう。
Form poked by adding -ed to poke and dropping nothing from the base spelling. Since poke ends in the voiceless sound /k/, the ending is pronounced /t/, giving /poʊkt/. Remember a short, focused movement toward one point: someone poked a button with a finger, poked a fire with a stick, or poked a hole in paper. Unlike push, which can involve steady force over a wider area, poke usually suggests a quick contact made with a fingertip or another narrow object.
例文
She poked the button with her finger.
彼女は指でそのボタンをつつきました。
He poked the fire with a long stick.
彼は長い棒で火をつつきました。
The child poked a small hole in the paper.
その子どもは紙に小さな穴を突いて開けました。

poked の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語poken（突く）に由来し、中低地ドイツ語やオランダ語のpoken（突く、かき回す）と同源。袋を意味するpokeとは別語源。関連語にpoker（火かき棒、突く道具）がある。「指や棒で軽く突く」が原義。
Poked is the inflected form of poke plus -ed. The verb comes from Middle English poken, meaning to thrust, prod, or stir, and has parallels in Middle Low German and Dutch forms. It is historically distinct from the noun poke meaning a bag. The related noun poker originally names an implement used to poke or stir a fire.
