覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 regimen に規則的な複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、「複数の養生法・治療計画」です。diet、exercise、medication などを一定の規則で組み合わせる plan として捉え、sleep regimens や treatment regimens と結び付けましょう。regime「政治体制」や regiment「連隊」と同根ですが、医療・健康の regimen とは意味を区別します。
Regimens is the regular plural of regimen: add -s when referring to two or more structured health or treatment plans. Imagine a clinic offering several sleep regimens, each combining regular meals, exercise, medication, or daily routines in a different way. A regimen is not a single action but an organized program followed consistently over time. Keep it separate from regime, which commonly means a system of government, and regiment, which usually names a military unit. Their shared history explains their similar spelling, not identical modern meanings.

regimens の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 regimen(支配・統治・指導)から。語根 reg-(導く・支配する)に由来し、regime(体制)、regiment(連隊)が同根語。元は「統治の仕方」の意だったが、医学用語として「健康を管理する規則的な方法」という養生法の意味に特化した。
Regimens is the plural of regimen, a word borrowed from Latin regimen, meaning direction, guidance, rule, or management. It belongs to the reg- word family associated with guiding, ruling, or keeping things in order. English regime and regiment are historically related, although their modern meanings differ. Regimen developed a specialized medical and health sense: a regulated course of diet, exercise, medication, or other practices used to manage well-being or treatment.
