覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
relay「中継する」の過去形・過去分詞です。語末が母音字＋y なので y を変えずに -ed を加えて relayed とし、語尾は /d/ と発音します。駅伝で走者から走者へ渡すバトンを思い浮かべ、relay a message/signal/update を「途中の人や機器を介して次へ渡す」と覚えましょう。
Relayed is the past tense and past participle of relay. Because relay ends in a vowel plus y, keep the y and add -ed; the ending is pronounced /d/. Think of a relay race, where a baton passes from one runner to the next. Information can move in the same staged way: a message was relayed to a manager, a speech was relayed by radio, or field updates were relayed to an office. The useful core is passing something onward through another person, station, or device rather than delivering it directly.
例文
The message was relayed to the manager.
その伝言はマネージャーに伝えられました。
The live speech was relayed on the radio.
その生演説はラジオで中継されました。
Updates from the field were relayed to the office every hour.
現場からの最新情報は毎時間オフィスに伝えられました。

relayed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
relayed は relay の過去分詞で、relay は古フランス語 relais「交代」に由来する。もとは馬や走者を途中で替える発想で、そこから「段階的に受け渡す」=「中継する」と広がった。関連語は relay, relayer。
Relayed is formed from relay plus -ed. Relay came through French relais, a word associated with replacement animals, attendants, or stations used during a journey. The earlier practical idea was that one horse or runner took over from another. English extended this notion of staged replacement and passing onward to messages, electrical signals, radio broadcasts, and other information. Relayed marks such transmission as completed or presents the information as having been passed along.
