覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rescind「正式に取り消す」に規則変化の -ed が付いた過去形・過去分詞で、語尾は /ɪd/ と発音します。ラテン語の「切る」という核から、成立済みの規則・許可・契約を法的・公式に切って無効にする場面を想像しましょう。cancel より硬く、rule、permit、offer などとよく結び付きます。
Rescinded is the regular past tense and past participle of rescind. Since rescind ends in /d/, -ed is pronounced /ɪd/. Link the word with the historical idea of “cutting”: an authority cuts an established rule, permit, order, contract, or offer out of force, making it invalid. This helps distinguish rescinded from the broader and more everyday canceled. Rescinded is formal and commonly appears in passive structures such as the rule was rescinded, the permit was rescinded, or the offer had been rescinded after a policy change.
例文
The rule was rescinded last week.
その規則は先週取り消されました。
His permit was rescinded after the review.
審査のあと、彼の許可は取り消されました。
The company said the offer had been rescinded because of a policy change.
会社は方針変更のため、その提案は撤回されたと述べました。

rescinded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rescinded はラテン語 rescindere にさかのぼり、re-「後ろへ・元に戻して」+ scindere「切る」から成ります。いったん成立したものを“切って無効に戻す”感覚から「取り消す」。同根語に rescission、scissors があります。
Rescinded is formed from rescind plus -ed. Rescind comes from Latin rescindere, “to cut off, tear open, or annul,” built from re- and scindere, “to cut or split.” The physical image of cutting something apart developed into the legal and administrative meaning of canceling an agreement, law, order, or decision. In modern English, rescinded usually signals a formal act that removes the validity or force of something previously established.
