覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
receipt「領収書」に -s を付けた複数形で、語末は /s/ と発音します。途中の p は発音しないため、receive と同じ「受け取る」という核を意識しましょう。keep receipts、check the receipts、submit receipts のように、複数の支払い証明を保管・確認・提出する場面と結び付けると定着します。
Receipts is the plural of receipt, with final -s pronounced /s/ after the /t/ sound. The p in receipt is silent, so connect the word with receive: a receipt is evidence that money or goods have been received. Picture collecting several slips after a business trip and putting all the receipts into one envelope. Useful combinations include keep your receipts, check the receipts, and submit receipts for reimbursement. A receipt proves a transaction, while a bill or invoice usually asks for payment rather than confirming it.
例文
Please keep your receipts for the trip.

私はすべての領収書を1つの封筒に入れました。

receipts の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 recipere（re- 戻す＋capere 取る＝受け取る）の過去分詞 receptus が古フランス語 receite を経て英語に。「p」は語源回帰で後から挿入された無音の綴り字。受け取った証拠だから「領収書」。関連語: receive（受け取る）、recipe（処方箋）。
Receipts is the regular plural of receipt. Receipt came through Old French from Latin receptus, the past participle of recipere, “to receive,” formed from re- and capere, “to take.” English acquired the spelling p through later adjustment toward the Latin form, but the letter remains silent in pronunciation. The meaning developed from the act of receiving to a written acknowledgment that payment, goods, or another item had been received.
