覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rescue の過去形・過去分詞で、原形が e で終わるため -ed の代わりに綴り上は -d だけを加えます。語末の /uː/ は有声音なので -ed は /d/ と発音し、/ˈreskjuːd/ となります。be rescued from ～「～から救出される」の受け身で、危険な場所から安全へ移された場面を思い浮かべましょう。
Rescued comes from rescue plus the past ending. Because rescue already ends in e, only -d is added in spelling. The ending is pronounced /d/, giving /ˈreskjuːd/, because the base ends in a voiced vowel sound. Picture someone being moved from danger to safety. The common passive pattern is be rescued from a place or threat, often followed by by to name the rescuer: The dog was rescued from the river by a family. Saved is broader, while rescued usually suggests active removal from immediate danger or difficulty.

rescued の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 excutere（振り払う）から古フランス語 rescourre（取り戻す）を経て英語に。re-（再び）+ ex-cutere（揺さぶり出す）で「危険から引き離す」意。関連語: rescue, succor。捕らわれた者を力ずくで「奪い返す」のが原義。
Rescued is the past and past-participle form of rescue. Rescue entered English through Middle French rescousse and related forms derived from Old French rescourre, meaning to recover or deliver. Those forms ultimately have Latin connections involving the idea of shaking or driving something out. The modern English verb developed the sense of freeing or saving someone from danger. Since rescue ends in e, its past form is spelled by adding only d.
