覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rejoiced は rejoice「大いに喜ぶ」の過去形・過去分詞です。語末 e があるので -d だけを加え、/s/ の後の -ed は /t/ と発音して /rɪˈdʒɔɪst/ となります。rejoiced at the news や rejoiced when ... の形で、単に pleased よりも喜びがはっきり表れた場面を思い浮かべましょう。
Connect rejoiced with rejoice, a somewhat formal verb for feeling or showing great joy. Since rejoice already ends in e, add only -d in spelling. The -ed ending is pronounced /t/ after the final /s/ sound, giving /rɪˈdʒɔɪst/. Picture a team celebrating good news or residents cheering when a long problem is finally solved. Useful patterns include “rejoiced at the news,” “rejoiced when he returned,” and “rejoiced to hear.” The emotional force is stronger and more openly joyful than simply “was pleased.”
例文

兄が無事に戻ったとき、彼女は大いに喜びました。

rejoiced の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 rejoir(再び喜ぶ)から。接頭辞 re-(再び)+ joir(喜ぶ、ラテン語 gaudēre に由来)。関連語は joy(喜び)、enjoy(楽しむ)。「再び喜びを感じる」が原義で、大きな喜びや歓喜を表す語に発展した。
Rejoiced is the past tense and past participle of rejoice. Rejoice entered English through Old French rejoir and related forms meaning “to make glad” or “be joyful.” These descend from Latin gaudēre, “to rejoice or be glad,” with a reinforcing prefix added in French. The modern spelling was influenced by the English noun joy. Although the word begins with re-, present-day learners should treat rejoice as a whole rather than interpret it literally as “be joyful again.”
