覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 resign に三人称単数現在の -s を付けた形で、語末 /n/ の後なので -s は /z/ と発音します。主語は he、she、the director などです。resign from a committee「委員会を辞任する」、resign as chair「議長職を辞する」の型で覚えましょう。
Resigns is the third-person singular present form of resign, with the final -s pronounced /z/ after /n/. Use it with subjects such as he, she, the director, or the chairperson. Learn the typical patterns: someone resigns from a company or committee, resigns as chair, or resigns a position. The action is voluntary and usually formal, unlike being dismissed or fired by another person. The historical image of formally giving back a role also helps: when the director resigns, the director hands the office back rather than continuing to hold it.
例文
The director resigns at the end of March.
その取締役は3月末に辞任します。
If the chairperson resigns, the board will choose a replacement.
議長が辞任すれば、理事会が後任を選びます。
She resigns from the committee after five years of service.
彼女は5年間務めた後、その委員会を辞任します。

resigns の語源・成り立ち Etymology
resign はラテン語 resignare に由来し、re-「返して」+ signare「印をつける」から成ります。もとは「署名して返却する・正式に手放す」で、そこから職や権利を返上する、つまり「辞任する」という意味になりました。関連語は signature, assign です。
Resign comes through French from Latin resignare, formed from re- and signare, “to mark or seal,” a verb related to signum, “sign.” Its earlier senses involved canceling, surrendering, or formally giving something back, which developed into giving up an office or position. Resigns is formed by adding the third-person singular present ending -s to resign. Signature and assign are historically related through the same Latin family.
