覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
replays は replay「リプレイ、再生」の複数形で、語末 /eɪ/ の後の -s は /z/ と発音します。re-「再び」+ play「再生する」と分け、試合のゴールを別角度から何度も映す video replays を思い浮かべましょう。一度の再生は a replay、複数の映像や繰り返しなら replays です。試合そのものの再実施を指す場合もあります。
See replays as re- plus plays: something plays again. It is the plural of replay, and the final -s is pronounced /z/ after the vowel sound /eɪ/. Picture a disputed goal being shown several times from different camera angles: each showing is a replay, and together they are replays. Common combinations include video replays, instant replays, and slow-motion replays. Depending on context, replay can also mean a match played again, but the examples here focus on recorded pictures or sounds presented again for review.

replays の語源・成り立ち Etymology
接頭辞 re-「再び」+ play「プレイする」の組み合わせ。play は古英語 plegan(運動する、遊ぶ)が語源。「再び再生する」が原義で、display(表示する)も同じ語根を持つ。録画や試合のやり直しなど「再生」全般を表す。
Replays is the plural of replay, a word formed in English from the prefix re-, “again,” and play. Play comes from Old English plegian, associated with exercise, movement, games, and amusement. Replay developed both verbal and nominal uses: to play something again, a repeated presentation of recorded material, or a game held again. The plural ending is pronounced /z/ because the singular form ends in a voiced vowel sound.
