覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
resettled は resettle「別の場所で再び生活基盤を築く」の過去形・過去分詞です。語末が e の動詞なので -d だけを加え、発音は /ˌriːˈsetəld/ と末尾が /d/ になります。re-「再び」＋settle「落ち着く」と分け、洪水後の家族や支援を受けた難民が新しい土地に腰を据えた場面で覚えます。
Resettled is the past tense and past participle of resettle. Since resettle already ends in e, only -d is added, and the ending is pronounced /d/. Break it into re-, “again,” and settle, “become established or make a home.” Picture families leaving a flooded area and settling in a safer town, or refugees receiving help to build a new life. Unlike moved, which only describes a change of location, resettled suggests becoming established in the new place, often after disruption or displacement.
例文

resettled の語源・成り立ち Etymology
re-「再び」+ settle「定住する」の過去形。settle は古英語 setlan（座らせる・落ち着かせる）から。元のゲルマン祖語 *setla-「座席」に遡る。関連語: settlement（定住地）、unsettle（不安にする）。一度離れた土地に再び腰を据えるという意味合い。
Resettled is formed from the prefix re-, settle, and the past-tense or participial ending -d. Settle comes from Old English setlan, meaning “to seat, place, or cause to become calm,” and is related to seat and sit. Adding re- produces the sense of becoming established again, commonly in a different location. The modern word often appears in discussions of refugees, disasters, government programs, and migration.
