覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 relocate に過去分詞の -d を付けた形で、語末が e の動詞なので e を重ねず relocated となる。発音は /ˌriːloʊˈkeɪtɪd/ で、-ed は /ɪd/。re-「別の場所へ」＋ locate「位置づける」から、「移転を終えた状態」と捉える。
Start with the base verb relocate, “to move to a new place.” Because it ends in silent e, its past participle is formed by adding only -d in spelling: relocate becomes relocated, not relocateed. The ending is pronounced /ɪd/ because the base ends in the /t/ sound, giving /ˌriːloʊˈkeɪtɪd/. As an adjective, relocated focuses on the state resulting from the move, as in a relocated company, relocated families, or a relocated factory. The parts re- and locate suggest assigning or establishing a location anew.

relocated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
relocated は re-「再び・別の場所へ」と locate「場所を定める」から成り、locate はラテン語 locus「場所」にさかのぼります。つまり「場所を置き直した」が原義で、「移転した」という意味になると納得できます。関連語は location, local。
Relocated is the past participle of relocate, formed with the regular ending -d because relocate already ends in e. Relocate combines re-, here conveying movement or placement anew, with locate. Locate is based on Latin locatus, the past participle of locare, “to place,” which derives from locus, “place.” The adjective therefore developed naturally from the verbal idea of placing someone or something in a new location.
