解説 Definition
scented は「香りのある」「香り付きの」という意味です。scent（香りをつける）の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞として石けんや花、紙などに香りがあることを表します。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形は scent「香りを付ける」で、-ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞が scented です。語末 /t/ の後なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、音節が一つ増えます。scented candle/soap/paper のように、人為的または自然な香りを帯びた物を修飾し、unscented「無香料の」と対で覚えます。
Connect scented with the noun and verb scent, “a smell” or “to give something a fragrance.” It is formed with -ed and can be the past participle of the verb or an adjective describing the resulting condition. Since scent ends in /t/, the -ed ending is pronounced /ɪd/, adding a syllable. Learn it in common combinations such as scented candle, scented soap, scented paper, and scented lotion. Pairing it with unscented is especially useful: scented products contain or carry a noticeable fragrance, while unscented products are marketed without added fragrance.

scented の語源・成り立ち Etymology
scentedのscentは、古フランス語sentir「感じる・においをかぐ」を経て、ラテン語sentire「知覚する」に由来します。senseやsentimentと同根で、-edが性質を帯びた状態を示すため、「香りを感じさせる」から「香りのある」となります。
Scented is formed from scent and the suffix -ed, which marks a completed action or a resulting quality. Scent developed from a form related to Old French sentir, “to feel or smell,” ultimately from Latin sentire, “to perceive or feel.” The spelling acquired an initial sc- under historical influence from related-looking words. In modern use, scented describes something that naturally carries or has deliberately been given a fragrance.
