覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rowed は row「オールで舟を漕ぐ」の過去形・過去分詞で、規則変化 row＋-ed です。語末の -ed は /d/ と発音し、全体は「ロード」に近い音になります。rowed across the lake や rowed the boat toward the dock のように、オールで水面を進んだ場面と結び付けましょう。
Rowed is the regular past tense and past participle of row, meaning “to move a boat with oars.” Add -ed to row; because the base ends in a voiced vowel sound, -ed is pronounced /d/, so rowed rhymes with road. Picture someone who rowed across a lake before sunset, repeatedly pulling the oars through the water. Useful patterns include rowed across the lake, rowed toward the dock, and rowed a small boat. Do not confuse this row with row meaning “an argument,” which has a different pronunciation.

rowed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rowed は row の過去形で、語源は古英語 rowan「舟をこぐ」にさかのぼり、さらにゲルマン系の古い語に連なります。関連語は rowing と rower で、水上でオールを使って進む具体的な動きが、そのまま意味の中心に残っています。
Rowed is formed from row plus the regular past-tense ending -ed. The verb row descends from Old English rōwan, “to propel a boat with oars,” and has related forms in other Germanic languages. The core meaning has remained remarkably concrete: using an oar or oars to move over water. In rowed, the ending is pronounced /d/, not as a separate syllable.
