覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 repaint「塗り直す」に過去形・過去分詞の -ed が付いた形です。re-「再び」＋paint「塗る」と分け、壁・車・看板などにもう一度塗料をのせる場面を想像します。repaint が /t/ 音で終わるため -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。単なる repaired ではなく、塗装をやり直したことに焦点があります。
Build repainted from repaint plus -ed: re- means “again,” and paint means “apply color or a protective coating.” Imagine an old sign, kitchen wall, or repaired door receiving a fresh coat. The word focuses specifically on painting again, whether in the same color or a different one; repaired alone does not communicate that detail. Because repaint ends with the /t/ sound, the -ed ending forms a separate syllable and is pronounced /ɪd/.

repainted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
re-「再び」＋paint＋-ed。paint は古フランス語 peindre を経てラテン語 pingere「色をつけて描く」にさかのぼり、picture や pigment も同根です。つまり repainted は「もう一度色をのせた」から「塗り直した」になります。
Repainted consists of re-, “again,” paint, and the regular past-tense or past-participle ending -ed. Paint entered English through Old French, ultimately from Latin pingere, “to paint, embroider, or represent in color.” Pigment and picture are historically related through the same Latin word family. The prefix re- gives the clear modern meaning of applying paint again or replacing an earlier painted finish.
