覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

recognised は英国式 recognise の過去形・過去分詞で、語尾の e を取って -ed を付け、発音末尾は /d/ です。米国式 recognized と同じ語。形容詞的には a recognised expert「公に認められた専門家」のように、単に見分けたのでなく評価や地位が承認された状態も表します。

Recognised is the British spelling; American English usually writes recognized. It is the past tense and past participle of recognise, made by dropping the final e and adding -ed, with the ending pronounced /d/. Connect re- with the idea of encountering knowledge again: you see something and know what it is. Then extend that image to public acceptance. A recognised expert is not merely identified but acknowledged as an expert, while a recognised qualification has accepted status. Useful patterns include be recognised by, be recognised as, and be recognised for, each showing a different kind of acknowledgment.

recognised の語源・成り立ち Etymology

ラテン語 recognoscere(再び知る)から。接頭辞 re-(再び)+ cognoscere(知る)に分解でき、cogは「知」の語根。関連語:cognition, recognize。「もう一度見て知る」→「見分ける・認識する」という意味の発展が直感的に理解できる。

Recognised is the inflected form of recognise, which ultimately comes from Latin recognoscere, “to know again, examine, or acknowledge.” That verb combines re-, “again,” with cognoscere, “to get to know.” It passed into English through French and Medieval Latin forms. British English commonly uses recognise and recognised with s, while American English generally prefers recognize and recognized. Related learned words include cognition and recognition.
