覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 rear「育てる」に規則的に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、発音は /rɪrd/ です。ここでは be reared in a small town や be reared by grandparents の受け身で「育てられた」を表します。raised よりやや硬く、家庭環境や養育者の説明によく合います。
Start with the base verb rear, meaning to bring up a child or raise an animal. Add the regular past ending -ed to form reared, pronounced /rɪrd/. In the target sense, it often appears passively: she was reared in a small town or the children were reared by their grandparents. Connect the word with the idea of helping someone grow “up.” Reared is somewhat more formal than raised when describing a person’s upbringing and often introduces the home, values, or caregivers involved.

reared は動詞 rear の過去分詞で、古英語 ræran「起こす・持ち上げる」にさかのぼります。もとは「上へ起こす」感覚から、人や動物を「育て上げる」という意味になりました。関連語は rise, raise です。
Reared is the regular past and past-participle form of rear. Rear comes from Old English ræran, meaning to raise, lift, or set upright. The physical idea of bringing something upward developed into the sense of bringing a person or animal up to maturity. The word is historically related in meaning and form to raise, though their modern grammatical patterns differ.
