解説 Definition
recommended は recommend（勧める、推奨する）の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞として「推奨される」という意味です。人や組織がよい選択として勧めているものに使います。
If something is recommended, it has been presented by a person, organization, or authority as a suitable, beneficial, or preferable choice. The adjective indicates advice or approval rather than an absolute requirement.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 recommend に規則どおり -ed を付けた過去分詞で、語末は /ɪd/ と発音します。ここでは形容詞として、専門家などが「よい選択」と認めた状態です。recommended book、recommended amount、recommended route のように名詞の前に置き、required「必須の」と区別して覚えます。
Recommended comes from recommend plus the regular ending -ed; because the base ends in /d/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/. As an adjective, it marks something that an expert, organization, or other source considers a good choice. Learn it in practical combinations such as recommended book, recommended amount, recommended route, and highly recommended. Keep it distinct from required: a recommended action is advised, while a required action is compulsory. The underlying idea of recommend is giving something your approval and presenting it as worthy of another person’s trust or choice.

recommended の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recommended は recommend の過去分詞で、語源はラテン語 recommendare です。re-「強める・再び」+ commendare「託す・称賛する」から成り、「この人や物なら任せられると勧める」が「推奨される」という意味につながります。関連語は commend、mandate です。
Recommended is the past-participial form of recommend, created with the regular suffix -ed and used here adjectivally. Recommend entered English through Medieval Latin recommendare, built from Latin re- and commendare, “to entrust, commit, or commend.” Commendare itself is related to commend. The historical idea of entrusting someone or something to another person’s care developed into approving it and advising others to choose it.
