覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 resign「辞任する」に -ed が付いた過去形・過去分詞で、She resigned from her position のように resign from + 役職・組織を使います。単なる欠勤ではなく、役職や仕事を正式に退く動作です。語末の /n/ が有声音なので -ed は /d/ となり、発音は /rɪˈzaɪnd/。re-signed「再署名した」とは発音も意味も異なります。
Link resigned to the base verb resign, meaning “to formally leave a job or position.” Learn the pattern resign from a position, a board, or a company. It describes giving up the role itself, not taking a day off or being temporarily absent. The regular -ed ending is pronounced /d/ after the voiced /n/, so resigned is /rɪˈzaɪnd/. Be careful with re-signed: with a clear break after re-, that means “signed again,” whereas resigned means “left a position.” Also note that resigned can be an adjective meaning calmly accepting something unpleasant, but the examples here use the verb meaning.
例文
He resigned yesterday.
彼は昨日辞任しました。
The director resigned after the meeting.
その取締役は会議の後に辞任しました。
She resigned from her position for personal reasons.
彼女は個人的な理由でその役職を辞任しました。

resigned の語源・成り立ち Etymology
resigned は resign「辞任する」の過去形で、語源はラテン語 resignare「印を解く・返上する」です。re-「後ろへ・元に」+ signare「印を付ける」から、いったん与えられた地位や権限を正式に返す感じになり、sign や signature も同じ語根です。
Resigned is the past-tense and past-participle form of resign. Resign came through French from Latin resignare, formed from re- and signare, “to mark” or “to sign.” The Latin verb could mean to unseal, cancel, or give back formally, which contributed to the later sense of surrendering an office or position. Sign and signature share the same sign-related root. In modern English, resign commonly means to leave a role voluntarily and formally.
