覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず中心は word「言葉」。そこに re- が付くと「もう一度言葉にする」なので、reword は「別の言い方で言い直す」。reworded はその過去形・過去分詞で「言い換えた／言い換えられた」。rewrite が文章を書き直すのに対し、reword は意味を大きく変えず表現だけ調整する感じ。a reworded sentence, reworded for clarity のように、「分かりやすさのために表現を直す」場面と結び付けると覚えやすい。wording「言い回し」とセットで見ると定着しやすい。
Build it from `word` with `re-`: to `reword` is to put something into words again. `Reworded` is the finished form, often used when the meaning stays similar but the expression becomes clearer. Link it with phrases like `reworded for clarity` or `reworded sentence`.
