覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
recapture「奪還する、再び捕らえる」に規則語尾 -ed を加えた過去形・過去分詞で、末尾の /r/ が有声音なので -ed は /d/ と発音します。re-「取り戻して」＋capture「捕らえる」から、lost → captured again の流れを描きましょう。受け身のwas recapturedなら「奪還された・再び捕まった」と文脈で訳し分けます。
Divide recaptured into re-, “again or back,” capture, “take or catch,” and the regular ending -ed. The ending is pronounced /d/ after the voiced final sound of recapture. Imagine a town that was lost and then taken back, or an escaped prisoner who was caught again. Both follow the idea “captured back.” Pay attention to voice: the army recaptured the town describes the actor, while the town was recaptured focuses on what was recovered. Context decides whether the best translation is “retook,” “recovered,” or “caught again.”

recaptured の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recaptured は re-「再び・取り戻して」+ capture「捕える」+ -ed。capture はフランス語経由でラテン語 captura/capere「つかむ・取る」にさかのぼり、文字通り『もう一度つかみ返した』が『奪還した』になる。関連語は capture, captive。
Recaptured is the regular past-tense and past-participle form of recapture. The verb combines re-, meaning “again” or “back,” with capture, which entered English through French and derives from Latin captura and capere, “to take or seize.” The suffix -ed marks the past action or participle. Its structure therefore expresses taking back something lost or capturing again something that escaped.
