覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 reunite「再び一つにする・再会させる」に過去分詞の -ed が付いた形です。語末が /t/ なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。「離れていた家族が空港で再び一緒になる」場面と、be reunited with ～「～と再会する」を組み合わせて覚えましょう。
Start with the base verb reunite: re- means “again,” and unite means “bring together as one.” Adding -ed forms reunited, which can describe the resulting state after separated people or things come together again. Because unite ends in a /t/ sound, the -ed ending is pronounced /ɪd/. Picture a family meeting at an airport, and remember the common pattern be reunited with someone.

reunited の語源・成り立ち Etymology
reunited は re-「再び」+ unite「一つにする」+ -ed です。unite は後期ラテン語 unire、さらにラテン語 unus「一つ」に由来し、関連語に union と unique があります。離れていたものが再び一つになった結果なので「再会した」となります。
Reunited is formed from reunite plus the past-participle ending -ed. Reunite combines re-, meaning “again,” with unite, meaning “join into one.” Unite came through Middle English from Latin unire, “to make one,” based on unus, “one.” The form therefore presents a renewed joining and is commonly used adjectivally for people or groups brought together after separation.
