充電された
解説 Definition
「recharged」は本来、動詞「recharge」の過去形・過去分詞で、電池などが再び充電された状態を表します。人について使う場合は、休息によって元気を取り戻した、気力が回復したという意味でも使われます。
The past tense and past participle of recharge, describing a battery or device whose electrical energy has been restored. Figuratively, it can describe a person who has regained energy, enthusiasm, or readiness after resting.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 recharge に -ed を付けると、語末の e と重ねず recharged となり、-ed は /d/ と発音します。re-「再び」＋charge「満たす」と捉え、a recharged battery は再充電済み、feel recharged は休息で元気を回復した状態。単に charged「充電済み」より「一度減ったものを再び満たした」点が核です。
Recharged is formed from recharge plus -ed; because recharge already ends in silent e, only d is added in spelling, and the ending is pronounced /d/. Break it into re-, “again,” and charged, “filled with energy.” A recharged battery has had its electrical power restored after use, while a person who feels recharged has recovered energy through rest. The key contrast with charged is the idea of restoration: something was depleted and then filled again. Remember the pair “a recharged battery” and “feel recharged after a quiet weekend.”

recharged の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recharged は re-「再び」＋ charge から成り、charge は古フランス語 charger、さらに後期ラテン語 carricare「荷を積む」に由来します。もとは「もう一度荷を載せる」で、そこから電気や活力を「再び満たした」という意味になりました。関連語は charge, discharge。
Recharged is the past tense and past participle of recharge, formed with re-, meaning “again,” and charge. Charge entered English through Old French charger from Late Latin carricāre, “to load a cart,” derived from carrus, “cart.” Its senses expanded from placing a load on something to supplying electrical energy or personal vitality. Recharge therefore means to supply that energy again, and recharged describes the resulting restored state.
