覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
recasts は原形 recast に三人称単数現在の -s を付けた形で、語末 /t/ が無声音なので -s は /s/ と発音する。re-「再び」＋cast「形を与える」と分け、「監督が役を配し直す」「物語を新しい観点で組み直す」「金属を鋳直す」の三場面を結ぶ。過去形・過去分詞は recast のままで recasted ではない。
Start with the base verb recast: re- means “again,” while cast suggests giving something a form or assigning performers to roles. Recasts is its third-person singular present form, as in “the director recasts the role” or “the essay recasts the debate.” Because recast ends in the voiceless sound /t/, the final -s is pronounced /s/. Keep the irregular pattern in mind as well: the past tense and past participle are recast, not recasted. This distinguishes recasts clearly as a present-tense form.

recasts の語源・成り立ち Etymology
接頭辞 re-（再び）＋ cast（投げる・鋳造する）の構成。cast は古ノルド語 kasta（投げる）に由来。鋳物を溶かして鋳型に再び流し込む（鋳直す）イメージから「再構成する・作り直す」の意味に。関連語は broadcast, forecast。
Recasts is formed from the verb recast plus the third-person singular present ending -s. Recast combines re-, “again” or “anew,” with cast. Cast entered English from Old Norse kasta, “to throw,” and later developed senses involving shaping molten material and assigning dramatic roles. From the image of casting something into a new mold came the figurative meaning “reshape or present in a new form.”
