覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
resort「行楽地、リゾート」に複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、語末が無声音 /t/ のため -s は /s/ と発音する。beach resorts、ski resorts、family resorts のように、休暇客向けの施設や地域が複数ある場面で覚える。同じ resort には「頼る」という動詞もあるが、ここではホテルや娯楽施設を備えた観光地という名詞の複数形。
Resorts is the plural of the noun resort: add -s, pronounced /s/ after the final voiceless /t/. Picture several holiday destinations and learn the common combinations beach resorts, ski resorts, and family resorts. These places often combine accommodation with recreation, dining, or entertainment. Resort also occurs as a verb meaning “turn to something for help,” especially in resort to, but that is not the use here. The examples all refer to multiple tourist destinations or facilities, so the plural ending and the holiday context are both essential.

resorts の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語resortir（再び出かける）が語源。re-（再び）+sortir（出る）で「繰り返し訪れる場所」の意。元は「頼みの綱、よりどころ」の意味もあった。関連語にsort（分類する）、sortie（出撃）。行楽地の意味は18世紀頃に定着。
Resorts is the regular plural of resort. Resort came through Old French from resortir, literally involving the idea of going out or returning, formed with re- and sortir, “to go out.” The English noun developed senses such as a place frequently visited and a source of help or recourse. From the idea of a place people regularly visited, it acquired its modern recreational meaning. In resorts, the plural -s is pronounced /s/ after the voiceless final /t/.
