覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 retire に三人称単数現在の -s が付いた形です。語末 e は残して retires、発音は /rɪˈtaɪərz/ のように最後が /z/。主語は he、she、my father、the coach など単数です。retire from a company、retire after a season の型で、仕事や競技から「身を引く」場面を覚えましょう。
Connect retires to the base verb retire, meaning “withdraw from working life or a role.” It is the third-person singular present form, so it follows a singular subject such as “my father,” “the coach,” or “she.” The final e remains before -s: retire becomes retires, and the ending is pronounced /z/. Picture someone stepping back from a company, profession, or sport after completing a career. Useful patterns include retires from the company, retires after the season, and retires next spring.
例文
My father retires next spring.
父は来年の春に退職します。
The coach retires after this season.
そのコーチは今シーズン後に引退します。
She retires from the company at the end of June.
彼女は6月末にその会社を退職します。

retires の語源・成り立ち Etymology
フランス語 retirer（re-「後ろへ」＋ tirer「引く」）に由来し、「身を引く」が原義。職場から身を引くことから「退職する」の意味に。関連語: retreat（退却）、retire の名詞形 retirement。
Retires is the third-person singular present form of retire. Retire entered English through French retirer, formed with re-, conveying movement back, and tirer, “to draw or pull.” Its literal notion of drawing back developed into leaving public activity, employment, or a career. Modern English adds -s to retire for agreement with a third-person singular subject, while retaining the final e in spelling.
