覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
respects は動詞 respect「尊重する」に三人称単数現在の -s を付けた形で、主語が he、she、it、単数名詞のときに使います。語末 /t/ は無声音なので -s も /s/ と発音し、/rɪˈspekts/ です。respect a person’s rights、respect different ideas のように、大切に扱う対象と組み合わせましょう。
Begin with the base verb respect and add -s for a third-person singular subject in the present tense: he respects, she respects, or the company respects. Since respect ends in the voiceless sound /t/, the ending is pronounced /s/, giving /rɪˈspekts/. Build the meaning around common objects: respects his parents, respects every student, respects other cultures, or respects different ideas. The word implies giving proper consideration or treating something as valuable, not merely liking or agreeing with it.
例文
He respects his parents.
彼は両親を尊敬しています。
Our teacher respects every student.
私たちの先生はすべての生徒を尊重しています。
This company respects different ideas.
この会社はさまざまな考えを尊重しています。

respects の語源・成り立ち Etymology
respect はラテン語 respicere にさかのぼり、re-「後ろへ・改めて」＋ specere「見る」から成ります。もとは「よく見る、気を配る」で、そこから「尊重する」へ発展しました。関連語に inspect、spectator があります。
Respects is the third-person singular present form of respect, created by adding the regular ending -s. Respect came through French and Latin from respectus and the verb respicere, formed from re-, “back” or “again,” and specere, “to look.” The literal notion of looking back or paying attention developed into consideration and esteem. The same Latin visual root appears in English words such as inspect and spectator.
