覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 respond に規則的な -ed が付いた過去形・過去分詞で、語末は /ɪd/ と発音します。respond to an email、respond to a question のように、相手の言葉や働きかけに「応じて返す」のが核です。answer は質問への答えに広く使えますが、respond は連絡・呼びかけ・状況への反応まで含みます。
Responded is the regular past form and past participle of respond. Since respond ends in /d/, the -ed ending is pronounced /ɪd/: /rɪˈspɒndɪd/ or /rɪˈspɑːndɪd/. Think of sending something back after receiving a message, question, or call. The most useful pattern is responded to: he responded to my email, and the teacher responded to every question. Unlike answer, respond can also describe a reaction to a situation or stimulus, so its range is wider than simply supplying an answer.
例文
He responded to my email this morning.
彼は今朝、私のメールに返事をしました。
The teacher responded to every question.
先生はすべての質問に答えました。
She responded politely when her name was called.
名前を呼ばれると、彼女は丁寧に答えました。

responded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
responded は respond の過去形で、ラテン語 respondere に由来します。re-「返して」＋ spondere「厳かに約束する」から成り、もとは「言葉を返す・応じる」感覚で、関連語に correspond と sponsor があります。
Responded consists of respond and the regular ending -ed. Respond came from Latin respondēre, formed from re-, “back,” and spondēre, “to pledge solemnly.” The Latin verb carried the idea of answering or replying, perhaps with a commitment in return. Through French and Latin influence, English respond developed its modern senses of replying to words, communications, or requests and reacting to an event or stimulus.
