覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

rolled は roll の過去形・過去分詞で、語尾に -ed を加えます。roll の末尾音が有声音 /l/ なので -ed は /d/ と発音し、全体は /roʊld/ です。rolled the paper、rolled the towel、rolled the dough のように、平たい物を巻く・丸める場面で覚えましょう。

Connect rolled with the base verb roll and the circular motion of a wheel. It is the regular past and past participle: roll–rolled–rolled. Because roll ends in the voiced sound /l/, the -ed ending is pronounced /d/, giving /roʊld/. Build the meaning around physical actions from the examples: “rolled the paper tightly,” “rolled the towel,” and “rolled the dough into a ball.” Each action changes a flat or irregular object into a curved, cylindrical, or rounded shape. This concrete circular image also helps with the related sense of making an object move by turning over.

例文

She rolled the paper tightly.

彼女はその紙をきつく巻きました。

He rolled the towel and put it away.

彼はタオルを巻いて片づけました。

I rolled the dough into a small ball.

私は生地を丸めて小さな球にしました。

rolled の語源・成り立ち Etymology

古フランス語 roller を経てラテン語 rotulus(小さな車輪)が語源。rota(車輪)の指小形で、「回転させる・巻く」の意味になった。車輪が転がる動きが原イメージ。関連語: rotate(回転する)、role(役割、元は巻物の意)。

Rolled is formed by adding the regular past-tense and past-participle ending -ed to roll. The verb entered English through Old French roller, related to words for a roll or wheel and ultimately associated with Latin rotulus, “small wheel,” a diminutive of rota, “wheel.” The historical image of circular movement explains the modern senses of turning something over, moving it along, or wrapping material into a rounded shape.
