覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
recharges は原形 recharge の三人称単数現在形。主語が he、she、it や単数名詞のときに -s が付き、語末が /dʒ/ なので発音は /ɪz/ を加えた形になる。re-「再び」＋ charge「満たす」と分け、He recharges his laptop every evening. のような反復的な充電場面で覚える。
Start with the base verb recharge: re- means “again,” and charge here means to supply stored electrical energy. Recharges is the third-person singular present form, used after he, she, it, or one singular noun: “He recharges his laptop every evening.” Because recharge ends in the sound /dʒ/, the written -s is pronounced /ɪz/, giving a final sound like “jiz,” not simply /s/. Picture a battery gauge filling again whenever the subject performs this regular action. Keep recharge for I, you, we, and they, but use recharges for a singular third-person subject.

recharges の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recharges は re-「再び」+ charge「積む・満たす」から成り、charge は古フランス語 charger、さらに後期ラテン語 carricare「荷車に積む」に由来します。cargo とも近い語で、もとは「もう一度荷を載せる」ことなので、電気や活力を再び満たす意味へ自然につながります。
Recharges consists of the prefix re-, “again,” the verb charge, and the third-person singular ending -s. Charge entered English through Old French charger, from Late Latin carricare, originally “to load a cart,” derived from carrus, “cart.” The idea of placing a load onto something later extended to supplying electrical energy. Thus recharge developed the transparent modern sense “charge again,” and recharges marks that action in the third-person singular present tense.
