覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
re-「再び・改めて」+write「書く」で、別の形に書き直すイメージを持ちましょう。三人称単数現在形は rewrite に -s を付けて rewrites と書き、末尾は /s/ と発音します。
Connect re-, “again” or “anew,” with write and picture creating a revised version. Add -s to rewrite for the third-person singular present form, rewrites; the ending is pronounced /s/.
例文
She rewrites each paragraph until the message is clear.
彼女は伝えたいことが明確になるまで、各段落を書き直します。
The editor rewrites the headline to make it shorter.
編集者は見出しを短くするために書き換えます。
The script rewrites the file names automatically.

rewrites の語源・成り立ち Etymology
re-(再び)+write(書く)の組み合わせ。writeは古英語writanに由来し「刻む・書く」が原義。古代ルーン文字を木に刻んだことから書く意味に発展した。関連語:rewrite(書き直し)、scripture(聖書、ラテン語scribere「書く」と同根)。
Rewrites is formed from rewrite plus the third-person singular ending -s. Rewrite itself combines the productive prefix re-, meaning “again” or “anew,” with write. Write descends from Old English writan, which could mean “to score, incise, draw, or write.” Its earlier association with marking or cutting a surface developed into the familiar sense of producing written language.
