覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形renounceの語末eを残して-dを付けた規則変化で、renouncedの末尾は /t/ と発音する。「renounce a claim／title／violence」のように、権利・称号・信条などを公に、はっきり手放す硬い語。単に諦めるgive upより、正式な宣言を伴う場面を思い浮かべる。
Renounced is the regular past-tense and past-participle form of renounce: the final e remains and -d is added, while the ending is pronounced /t/. Remember it through formal combinations such as renounced a claim, renounced a title, and renounced violence. Unlike the broad phrase gave up, renounced often suggests a clear, deliberate, and sometimes public declaration that a person no longer accepts, supports, or possesses something. Picture someone issuing an official statement that cuts their connection to a right, position, or belief.
例文

The leader renounced violence in the public statement.
その指導者は公式声明で暴力を放棄すると述べました。
She renounced the title before taking the new position.
彼女は新しい職に就く前にその称号を放棄しました。

renounced の語源・成り立ち Etymology
renounced は renounce の過去形で、古フランス語を経てラテン語 renuntiare「知らせ返す・正式に撤回する」に由来します。re-「後ろへ・返して」+ nuntiare「告げる」なので、権利や信念を公に言って手放す感じが出ており、announce や denounce も同根です。
Renounced comes from renounce plus the past-tense and participial ending -d. Renounce entered English through Old French from Latin renuntiare, “to report back, announce, or formally withdraw.” The Latin verb combines re-, “back,” with nuntiare, “to announce,” from nuntius, “messenger.” The history helps explain the word’s formal tone: something is surrendered or rejected through an explicit declaration. Announce and denounce share the element connected with reporting or proclaiming.
