覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
relished は relish「おいしく味わう、存分に楽しむ」の過去形・過去分詞です。語末が /ʃ/ なので -ed は /t/ と発音し、/ˈrelɪʃt/ となります。relish every bite「一口一口味わう」から relished the meal を連想し、単に ate ではなく、喜びながら十分に味わったことを表すと覚えましょう。
Start with relish, meaning to enjoy something keenly, especially its taste. Add -ed to form relished; because the base ends in the voiceless /ʃ/ sound, the ending is pronounced /t/, producing /ˈrelɪʃt/. Imagine someone slowly enjoying every bite of hot soup, fresh bread, or apple pie after waiting for it. “Relished the meal” says more than “ate the meal”: it highlights pleasure and appreciation. The same verb can extend beyond food, but these examples focus on savoring something delicious.

relished の語源・成り立ち Etymology
relishedは動詞relishの過去形で、relishは古フランス語reles/relais「後味・残り香」に由来し、さらにラテン語relaxareにさかのぼります。re-「後ろへ」＋laxare「ゆるめる」と同根で、味の余韻が残る感じから「味わう、楽しむ」へ進みました。関連語はrelax、laxです。
Relished is the past tense and past participle of relish. Relish entered English from Old French forms such as reles, associated with a remaining taste or flavor. These forms have been connected historically with Old French relaisser and ultimately Latin relaxare, “to loosen or release,” though the semantic development is complex. In English, the noun came to denote flavor or a pleasing quality, and the verb developed the sense “to taste with pleasure” and then more generally “to enjoy greatly.”
