覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 retake「取り直す」の不規則な過去分詞です。take–took–taken と同じ変化を保ち、re- を前に付けて retake–retook–retaken となります。発音は /ˌriːˈteɪkən/。a retaken photo や retaken scenes のように、最初の結果をやり直して得た写真・映像・試験結果を修飾します。
Retaken is the past participle of retake and follows the same irregular pattern as take: take–took–taken becomes retake–retook–retaken. Do not form it as “retaked.” The prefix re- signals that the action happened again. Picture a blurry photograph being taken a second time and becoming a retaken photo, or a scene filmed again becoming a retaken scene. As an adjective, retaken emphasizes the resulting item or repeated event, while retaking names the process. The word can also mean recaptured, but the examples here concern repeating a photograph, scene, or test.

retaken の類義語・関連語
retaken の語源・成り立ち Etymology
retaken は re-「再び」（ラテン語系）+ take（古ノルド語 taka「つかむ・取る」）+ -en から成り、原義は「もう一度取る」です。そこから「撮り直す・奪い返す」の意味になり、関連語に retake、overtake があります。
Retaken combines re-, “again” or “back,” with taken, the past participle of take. Take entered English from Old Norse taka, meaning “to grasp, seize, or receive.” Its inherited irregular forms are take, took, and taken, so the corresponding forms with the prefix are retake, retook, and retaken. The literal idea of taking again developed specialized uses such as photographing, filming, or sitting an examination again.
