解説 Definition
responds は respond（答える、反応する）の三人称単数現在形です。主語が he、she、it、または単数名詞のときに使い、質問や状況に対して答えることを表します。
Responds is the third-person singular present form of respond. It describes a person, organization, service, or thing giving an answer or showing a reaction to a question, message, request, event, or stimulus.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 respond に三単現の -s を付けた形です。語末 /d/ は有声音なので -s は /z/ と発音し、全体は /rɪˈspɒndz/ などとなります。主語が she、the teacher、this service のような単数のときに使い、respond to an email/question のように通常 to と組み合わせます。
Responds is the present-tense form used with he, she, it, or another singular subject: respond becomes responds. Because respond ends in the voiced sound /d/, the final -s is pronounced /z/, as in /rɪˈspɒndz/ in one common pronunciation. Learn it with to: she responds to emails, the teacher responds to a question, and the service responds to requests. Reply is especially common for messages, while respond is broader and can describe either an intentional answer or a reaction to a situation or stimulus.

responds の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「responds」は respond に三単現の -s が付いた形。respond は古フランス語を経てラテン語 respondere に由来し、re-「返して」＋ spondere「約束する」から、もとは「言葉を返す」で、response や responsible と同根。
Respond came through French from Latin respondere, meaning to answer or reply. The Latin form combines re-, suggesting return or back, with spondere, “to pledge or promise,” so its history carries the idea of giving an answer in return. Response and responsive belong to the same family. Responds is formed regularly by adding the third-person singular present ending -s to respond.
