覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
punctuated は punctuate「句読点を打つ」の過去形・過去分詞で、語末が e のため -d だけを加え、語尾は /ɪd/ と発音します。a carefully、properly punctuated sentence の形で、文に comma、period、question mark などが適切に配置された状態を思い浮かべます。puncture「穴を開ける」とは同語源でも意味を区別します。
Punctuated is the regular past tense and past participle of punctuate. Since punctuate ends in silent e, add only -d; the ending is pronounced /ɪd/. Link the word with punctuation: a properly punctuated sentence has commas, periods, question marks, and other marks placed where readers need them. Think of each mark as a point that separates or organizes parts of the text. Although punctuate and puncture share the historical idea of making a point or prick, punctuated text is marked for structure, while a punctured tire has been physically pierced.

punctuated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
punctuated はラテン語 pungere「突き刺す」に由来し、中世ラテン語 punctuare「点を打つ」を経てできた語です。もとは「針で印を付ける」感覚で、puncture や punctuation も同系と考えると、「文に句読点を打つ」という意味が腑に落ちます。
Punctuated comes from punctuate plus the regular ending -d. Punctuate derives from Medieval Latin punctuare, “to mark with points,” based on Latin punctum, “a point” or “prick,” from pungere, “to prick.” Early punctuation marks were understood as points placed in writing to guide division and reading. The same Latin family produced punctuation, point, and puncture, though their modern meanings developed in different directions.
