覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rescuers は rescuer「救助者」の複数形で、rescue＋行為者の -er＋複数の -s から成ります。語末の -s は /z/ と発音します。rescuers arrived、rescuers searched のように、災害現場へ到着し、捜索や救出をする複数の人々を思い浮かべて覚えましょう。
Analyze rescuers as rescue + -er + plural -s. Rescue names the act of saving someone from danger, while -er identifies a person who performs that action; the final -s shows that there is more than one such person and is pronounced /z/. Imagine a storm scene where rescuers arrive quickly, search the area, and lead stranded hikers to safety. Those typical verbs—arrive, search, help, and save—connect the word with the coordinated work of multiple rescue workers.

rescuers の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rescuers は rescuer（救助者）の複数形です。rescuer は rescue に行為者を表す接尾辞 -er を付けた語で、rescue は中期フランス語 rescourre などを経て、ラテン語 excutere（振り払う、解放する）にさかのぼります。これに複数形の -s が付いて rescuers となります。
Rescuers is the plural of rescuer, which is formed from the verb rescue and the agent suffix -er. Rescue entered English through Middle French rescourre or related forms, ultimately associated with Latin excutere, meaning “to shake off or drive away.” The modern spelling and sense developed in English around the idea of freeing someone from danger. The final plural -s is pronounced /z/.
