覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
名詞 report の複数形で、語末の無声音 /t/ に続く -s は /s/ と発音する。annual reports、progress reports、news reports のように、調査・進捗・出来事を整理して伝える文書や報告を指す。単なる records が保存情報を広く表すのに対し、reports は誰かに内容を伝える目的が強い。
Reports is the plural of the noun report. Add -s to report; because the singular ends in the voiceless sound /t/, the plural ending is pronounced /s/. Remember it through common combinations: annual reports summarize a year, progress reports explain how work is advancing, and news reports describe events. The word’s core is information gathered and carried to an audience. This helps distinguish reports from records: records mainly preserve facts or data, whereas reports usually select, organize, and communicate information for a particular reader or purpose.
例文

reports の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 reportāre（持ち帰る）から古フランス語 reporter を経て英語に。re-（戻す）＋ portāre（運ぶ）で「情報を持ち帰る」が原義。関連語: transport（運ぶ）, export（輸出する）。現地の情報を持ち帰って伝えることから「報告」の意味になった。
Reports is the plural of report. Report entered English through Old French reporter and ultimately derives from Latin reportare, “to carry back.” The Latin form combines re-, meaning “back,” with portare, “to carry.” Information brought back from an event or place could be recounted to others, producing the modern senses of a spoken account and a written document. The regular plural ending -s is pronounced /s/ because report ends in voiceless /t/.
