覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
release の過去形・過去分詞で、語末に -d を加えた形。発音は /rɪˈliːst/ で、-ed は /t/ と読む。be released from a cage のように、拘束されていた人や動物が「〜から解放された」という受け身の型で覚える。
Released is formed from release by adding -d because the base verb already ends in e. Its final -ed is pronounced /t/, so the word ends like “least,” not with an extra syllable. Picture a bird being let out of a cage and learn the common passive pattern be released from something. This makes the target meaning clear: someone or something was under control or confined and then became free. Other uses of released can concern films or products, but the examples here focus on freedom from restraint.
例文
The bird was released.
その鳥は解放されました。
The man was released today.
その男性は今日解放されました。
The dog was released from the cage.
その犬はおりから解放されました。

released の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 relesser から。接頭辞 re-（再び）＋ラテン語 laxāre（緩める）の構成で、「締めていたものを再び緩める→解放する」が原義。関連語: relax（緩める）、lease（貸す＝手放す）。
Release entered English through Old French relesser and is historically connected with Latin laxare, meaning “to loosen,” from laxus, “loose.” The underlying image is of loosening a restraint and allowing someone or something to go free. Released is the regular past-tense and past-participle form: final silent e is retained and -d is added. Its ending is pronounced /t/ after the voiceless /s/ sound.
