覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
renew「再び新しくする」に -ed が付いた過去分詞・形容詞です。re-「再び」+ new と分け、renewed contract なら「更新された契約」、renewed interest なら「再び強まった関心」と覚えます。語末が母音 /uː/ のため -ed は /d/ と発音し、全体は /rɪˈnuːd/ です。
Break renewed into re-, meaning “again,” new, and the past-participle ending -ed: something renewed has been made new or active again. A renewed passport or renewed contract has had its period of validity extended, while renewed interest has returned or become stronger. These combinations show that the word does not always mean physically replacing something with a new object. It often means restoring force, attention, or validity. Renew is the base verb, and renewed is its regular past and past-participle form. Because renew ends in the voiced vowel sound /uː/, the -ed ending is pronounced /d/: /rɪˈnuːd/.
例文

私のパスポートは先週更新されました。
The contract has been renewed for one year.
その契約は1年間更新されました。
After the meeting, the team had renewed interest in the project.
会議の後、チームはそのプロジェクトに新たな関心を持ちました。

renewed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
renewed は renew「新たにする」に過去分詞語尾 -ed が付いた形で、語源はラテン語 novus「新しい」です。re-「再び」が加わり、「もう一度新しくする」から「更新された・新たになった」という意味になります。関連語に novel, innovate があります。
Renewed is formed from renew plus the regular past-participle ending -ed. Renew combines the English prefix re-, meaning “again,” with new. New belongs to an old Germanic word family, while related learned words such as novel and innovate ultimately reflect Latin novus, also meaning “new.” The transparent modern structure gives the sense “made new again,” which developed into uses involving extended validity, restored activity, or revived interest and energy.
