覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 screw に規則変化の -ed を付けた形で、語尾は /d/ と発音する。形容詞として be screwed to the door、be screwed into the wall、be screwed on tightly のように、ねじで固定・回転装着された状態を表す。ここでは俗語の「ひどい目に遭った」ではなく、実際のねじとらせん運動に限定して覚える。
Start with the verb screw and add the regular past-participle ending -ed, pronounced /d/. As an adjective, screwed describes the resulting state after something has been fixed or tightened with a screw or a twisting action. Learn the common patterns screwed to the door, screwed into the wall, and screwed on the bottle. The preposition helps show the physical relationship: to for attachment, into for penetration, and on for a cap or lid turned into place. In this entry, keep the literal mechanical meaning separate from informal uses referring to serious trouble or failure.

screwed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 escroue（雌ねじ）からラテン語 scrofa（雌豚＝豚の尾のらせん形）に遡る。screw（ねじ）の過去分詞形。関連語：screw（ねじ）、corkscrew（コルク抜き）。らせん状にねじ込む動作から、俗語で「台無しにされた」という意味も生まれた。
Screwed is the past-participle form of screw used adjectivally. Screw entered English through Old French escroue, referring to a nut or threaded fitting; its deeper history is uncertain, though it has traditionally been associated with Latin scrofa, “sow,” possibly through an image of a curled tail. The modern word names a spiral fastener and the action of turning it. The ending -ed marks the resulting fastened or tightened state.
