覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
recruited は recruit に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 /t/ の後なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、/rɪˈkruːtɪd/ となります。be recruited by a company「会社に採用される」、be recruited for a project「企画に選ばれる」が典型です。hired より、候補者を探して組織へ迎えた過程を意識させます。
Recruited is the past tense and past participle of recruit. Add -ed without changing the base spelling. Because recruit ends in /t/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving /rɪˈkruːtɪd/. Common passive patterns are was recruited by a company, were recruited last month, and was recruited for a project. These show who selected the person, when it happened, or what role was intended. Compared with hired, recruited often highlights the active process of finding, attracting, or selecting someone for an organization or team, not only signing an employment agreement. Link it to recruit as the unchanged base form.

先月、新しい選手が3人採用されました。

recruited の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recruitedはrecruitの過去形で、フランス語recruterを経て、ラテン語recrescere「再び成長する」にさかのぼります。re-「再び」+ crescere「成長する」なので、本来は減った人数を“また増やす”感覚で、そこから人を集めて採用する意味になりました。関連語はincrease、crescentです。
Recruited is the regular past-tense and past-participial form of recruit. Recruit entered English through French recruter and is historically connected with a sense of replenishing or growing again, ultimately associated with Latin recrescere, “to grow again,” from re-, “again,” and crescere, “to grow.” It first referred especially to restoring military numbers with new personnel, then broadened to bringing people into companies, teams, projects, and other organizations. Crescent and increase reflect the same Latin growth root.
