覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
repeals は repeal の三人称単数現在形で、語末が有声音 /l/ のため -s は /z/ と発音する。government repeals a law、Congress repeals a regulation のように、法律・規則を権限ある機関が正式に廃止する場面で使う。単に変更する amend や一時停止する suspend より、法的効力をなくす点が核心。
Repeals is repeal plus the third-person singular ending -s, used with subjects such as the government, Congress, or the council. Since repeal ends in the voiced sound /l/, the ending is pronounced /z/. Remember the typical pattern: an authorized body repeals a law, regulation, or ordinance. The result is that the rule loses its legal force. This is stronger and more specific than amend, which changes part of a law, and different from suspend, which may stop its operation only temporarily. The noun form repeal names the act of official cancellation.

repeals の語源・成り立ち Etymology
repeals は repeal の三人称単数形で、アングロ・フランス語 repeler、さらに re-「後ろへ」＋ apeler「呼ぶ」に由来します。もとは「呼び戻す」で、そこから法や決定を元に戻す『廃止する』へ発展し、appeal も同系です。
Repeals is the third-person singular present form of repeal. Repeal entered English from Anglo-French repeler, built from re-, expressing movement back, and apeler, “to call.” Its early literal sense was “call back.” This developed into the legal sense of recalling or formally cancelling a rule or decision. Appeal is historically related through the same French and Latin verb family associated with calling or addressing someone.
