覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 rib「肋骨、筋を付ける」に -ed を付けた形で、短母音の後の b を重ねて ribbed と書き、発音は /rɪbd/、-ed は /d/。肋骨のような平行の盛り上がりを思い浮かべ、ribbed sweater や ribbed surface とまとめて覚える。
Connect ribbed with rib, the curved bone in the chest. A ribbed surface has repeated raised lines that resemble a row of ribs. When -ed is added to the short verb rib, the final b is doubled: rib becomes ribbed. It is pronounced /rɪbd/, with the ending sounding /d/, not as a separate syllable. Learn it through common combinations such as ribbed sweater, ribbed fabric, and ribbed surface. In these expressions it behaves like an adjective, describing the visible or touchable ridges rather than an action happening now.

ribbed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ribbed は rib「肋骨・あばら」からで、古英語 ribb にさかのぼるゲルマン系の語です。-ed が付いて「肋骨のような筋・畝のある」という形になり、布や面に凸凹の筋が入る意味になります。関連語は rib, ribbing。
Ribbed is formed from rib and -ed. Rib comes from Old English ribb, a Germanic word for one of the curved bones of the chest. The noun was extended to raised strips or ridges resembling those bones, and the verb rib came to mean “provide with ribs or ridges.” Ribbed therefore describes something given a series of such raised lines. Its doubled b follows the regular spelling pattern for adding -ed to rib.
