覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 reward に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞。reward は /d/ で終わるため、-ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、全体は /rɪˈwɔːrdɪd/。was rewarded for effort「努力に対して報われた」の形を軸に、単なる成功よりも、努力や行動が認められて見返り・満足を得た場面を思い浮かべる。
Rewarded is the past-tense and past-participle form of reward. It is formed regularly by adding -ed. Because reward ends with the /d/ sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/: /rɪˈwɔːrdɪd/. Remember the pattern be rewarded for something, as in “The team was rewarded for its effort.” The word suggests more than simply succeeding: an effort or action is recognized through a prize, benefit, favorable result, or sense of satisfaction. “Her hard work was rewarded” neatly connects the action with its deserved return.
例文

rewarded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rewarded は reward の過去分詞で、中英語 rewarden、さらにアングロ・フランス語 rewarder に由来します。re- とゲルマン系 ward「見る・見守る」が合わさり、本来は「よく見て正当に扱う」ことから「報いる」へ。関連語は regard, ward.
Rewarded is formed from reward plus the regular past suffix -ed. Reward entered English through Middle English rewarden and Anglo-French rewarder. Its deeper components are related to re- and a Germanic element represented by ward, associated with looking or watching. The word first carried ideas such as regarding, considering, or attending to something, and later developed the sense of giving a return for service or merit. Regard and ward preserve related historical elements.
