解説 Definition
restated は restate(言い換える、改めて述べる)の過去形・過去分詞です。内容を変えずに、より明確な言葉で述べ直す場合に使われます。
Restated means expressed again, often in different or clearer words, without changing the essential content. It is the past-tense and past-participle form of restate and can describe a question, opinion, conclusion, or important finding.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
re-「再び」+state「述べる」から成るrestateの過去形・過去分詞です。語末が/t/の動詞に-edが付くため、-edは一音節の「イド」/ɪd/となり、「リーステイティド」に近く発音します。内容を変えずsimpler wordsで述べ直す場面を思い浮かべ、repeatより「明確に言い換える」点を意識しましょう。
Divide restated into re- (“again”), state (“express in words”), and the past ending -ed. It is the past tense and past participle of restate. Because the base verb ends in the /t/ sound, -ed is pronounced as a separate /ɪd/ syllable: roughly “ree-STAY-tid.” Picture a teacher who restated a difficult question in simpler words. Unlike merely repeating the exact sentence, restating often changes the wording while preserving the original idea. Useful objects include a question, an opinion, a conclusion, and the main findings.

restated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語stare(立つ)から派生した status(状態)を経て、「公式に述べる」を意味する state に、「再び」の接頭辞 re- が付いた語。「改めて立場を示し直す」が原義で、言い換え・再表明を表す。関連語:statement, overstate。
Restated is the past-tense and past-participle form of restate, created from re-, meaning “again,” and state, meaning “express formally or clearly.” The verb state developed from the noun state, ultimately from Latin status, “a standing, position, or condition,” related to stare, “to stand.” The -ed ending marks the completed or passive form of the modern English verb.
