覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rated は原形 rate に -ed を付ける際、語末の e と接尾辞の e が重ならないため rated となり、発音は /ˈreɪtɪd/ と一音節増えます。be rated highly、be rated five stars、be rated by users のように、評価の高さ・等級・評価者を続ける受け身の型で覚えましょう。
Rated is the past tense and past participle of rate. Because rate already ends in silent e, adding the regular ending produces rated rather than rateed. The final -ed is pronounced /ɪd/ after /t/, giving /ˈreɪtɪd/. Learn it in passive patterns: a movie was rated highly, a hotel is rated five stars, and an app was rated by users. These patterns show three useful additions after rated: the level of approval, the assigned category, or the people who made the evaluation.
例文

rated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 ratus(計算された)から古フランス語 rate を経て英語に。語根 rat- は「計算する・見積もる」の意味で、ratio(比率)や ration(配給)と同根。「計算して値を定める」から「評価された」という意味に発展した。
Rated is the regular past-tense and past-participle form of rate. Rate entered English through French and Medieval Latin, ultimately relating to Latin ratus, “reckoned, fixed, or calculated.” Its earlier senses involved setting an amount, proportion, or price. From the idea of calculating and assigning a value, the verb developed the sense of judging quality or placing something in a ranked category. Ratio and ration are historically related.
