覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
名詞・動詞 salt「塩、塩を加える」に -ed が付いた過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞なら「塩味の・塩漬けの」です。語末が /t/ 音なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。salted nuts は味付け、salted fish／vegetables は味付けに加えて保存の場面も連想すると使い分けやすくなります。
Start with salt as both the substance and the verb “to add salt.” Adding -ed produces salted, meaning that the food has received salt. Since salt ends in the sound /t/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, not simply /d/: salted. Link salted nuts with flavoring, and salted fish or salted vegetables with either flavoring or preservation. This contrast helps distinguish salted from salty: salted describes what was treated with salt, while salty mainly describes how something tastes or how much salt it contains.

料理人は塩漬けの魚をご飯と一緒に出しました。

salted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
salted は salt「塩」+ -ed で、「塩を加えた」が原義です。salt は古英語 sealt、さらに印欧祖語の *sal- にさかのぼる非常に古い語なので、保存や味つけの中心だった塩の感覚がそのまま「塩漬け」に出ています。関連語は salt, salad。
Salted is formed from salt and the English past-participle ending -ed. Salt comes from Old English sealt and belongs to an ancient Germanic word family ultimately associated with an Indo-European root reconstructed as *sal-, “salt.” Because salt has long been used both to flavor and preserve food, the participle salted naturally developed both senses: “having salt added” and “preserved with salt.”
