覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 remain に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 /n/ の後の -ed は /d/ と発音し、音節は増えません。He remained at home は「その場に残った」、The door remained open は remain+形容詞で「開いた状態のままだった」。場所と状態の二つの型で覚えます。
Start with remain, “to stay or continue,” and add -ed to refer to the past. Because the base ends in the voiced sound /n/, the ending is pronounced /d/ and does not create another syllable. Learn two central patterns. “He remained at home” describes staying in a place, while “the door remained open” uses remain as a linking verb followed by an adjective and means that the condition did not change. “Only one apple remained” adds the idea of something being left after the rest disappeared or were used. In all three, the core image is continuity despite time or change around it.
例文
He remained at home.
彼は家に残りました。
Only one apple remained.
りんごは1つだけ残っていました。
The door remained open.
ドアは開いたままでした。

remained の語源・成り立ち Etymology
remained は remain の過去形で、語源はラテン語 remanere「後ろにとどまる」です。re-「後ろに・再び」+ manere「とどまる」から成り、「去らずに残る」という感覚で今の意味になりました。関連語は remain, permanent です。
Remained is the regular past tense and past participle of remain. Remain entered English through Old French remanoir and ultimately comes from Latin remanere, formed from re-, here conveying “back,” and manere, “to stay.” Its central historical idea is staying behind when something else moves or changes. English preserved that idea in both spatial uses, such as remaining at home, and linking-verb uses, such as remaining open or calm.
