覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 reply の過去形・過去分詞です。子音字＋y の前が母音なので、単純に -ed を足さず、y を i に変えて replied とします。語尾は /d/ と発音します。reply to an email・reply with an answer の形を覚え、「質問や連絡に言葉を返した」場面と結び付けましょう。
Start with the base verb reply, meaning to give an answer. To form its past tense and past participle, change the final y to i and add -ed: reply becomes replied. This happens because reply ends in a consonant letter followed by y. The ending is pronounced /d/, not as a separate syllable. Learn it through common patterns: replied to my email, replied with a short answer, and replied that she was busy. Each pattern describes words sent back in response to an earlier question or message.

replied の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 replicare（re-「再び」+ plicare「折る」）が古フランス語 replier を経て英語に。「折り返す」→「言葉を返す＝答える」の意。関連語: reply（返答）、complicate（複雑にする＝折り重ねる）。手紙を折り返して送る動作が「返答」の原義。
Replied is formed from reply by changing final y to i and adding -ed. Reply entered English through Old French replier and ultimately comes from Latin replicare, formed from re- and plicare, “to fold.” The historical sense developed from folding or turning something back to giving an answer in return. The modern form replied functions as both the simple past and the past participle of the verb.
