覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rested は rest「休む」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。語末が /t/ なので -ed は独立した /ɪd/ となり、二音節で発音します。rest for an hour、rest under a tree、rest at home のように、活動を止めて体や心を回復させた場面と一緒に覚えましょう。
Rested is formed by adding -ed to rest. Since rest already ends in the /t/ sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving two syllables: rest-ed. Think of stopping activity so the body or mind can recover. Useful patterns include rested for an hour, rested under a tree, and rested at home until she felt better. The examples use the intransitive sense, meaning the subject took a break; do not confuse it with rested an object on a surface, where rest means “placed or supported.”
例文

The children rested under a tree.
子どもたちは木の下で休みました。

rested の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rested は rest「休む」の過去形で、古英語 ræstan「休む・静止する」に由来し、さらにゲルマン祖語 *rast- 系へさかのぼります。-ed は過去を示す語尾で、rest や restless が関連語。もとは「動きを止める」が核で、そこから「休んだ」になりました。
Rest comes from Old English ræstan, meaning “to rest, remain, or cease from movement,” and is related to other Germanic words expressing repose or a stopping place. The central historical idea is stillness after activity, which developed naturally into physical or mental relaxation. Rested is the regular past and past-participle form, with -ed pronounced /ɪd/ because the base ends in /t/.
