返金へんきんされた

解説 Definition

refunded は refund(返金する)の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞としては返金されたという意味です。返品、キャンセル、過払いなどの後でお金が戻された状態を表します。

Paid back to the person who originally supplied the money, usually after a return, cancellation, error, or overpayment. It can also describe a ticket or purchase for which the customer has received repayment.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

原形 refund に規則的な -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞では「返金処理を受けた状態」です。refunded amount、refunded fee、refunded ticket のように使います。単なる returned は物の返却にも使えますが、refunded は金銭が戻る点が中心です。

Build “refunded” directly from “refund” plus the regular ending -ed. Think of money reversing direction: a customer pays first, then the amount is sent back after a cancellation, return, or overpayment. Common combinations include “refunded amount,” “refunded fee,” and “refunded ticket.” Do not treat it as a general synonym of “returned”: an item can be returned to a shop, while money is refunded to the customer. As an adjective, “refunded” emphasizes the completed financial result.

例文

The refunded amount appeared on my credit card statement.

返金された金額がクレジットカードの明細に表示されました。

Her refunded ticket could no longer be used.

返金済みの彼女のチケットは、もう使えませんでした。

The refunded fee was sent back within three business days.

返金された手数料は3営業日以内に戻されました。

refunded の語源・成り立ち Etymology

ラテン語 re-(再び)+ fundere(注ぐ)が語源。「注ぎ戻す→返す」が原義で、金銭を元に戻す意味に発展した。関連語: fund(資金)、foundry(鋳造所)。お金を「注ぎ返す」イメージが返金の意味につながる。

“Refunded” is the regular past and past-participle form of “refund.” “Refund” came through French and Latin, ultimately reflecting Latin re-, “back,” and fundere, “to pour.” The literal notion of pouring something back developed into that of returning or repaying money. In modern English, “refunded” normally indicates that a payment has been given back, rather than merely that merchandise has been physically returned.
