覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
shamed は shame「恥をかかせる」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、発音は /ʃeɪmd/ と語尾が /d/ になります。形容詞では、具体的な失敗や非難によって「恥を感じさせられた状態」。feel shamed、look shamed、be shamed by の型で覚え、内面から「恥じている」ashamed や単なる「内気な」shy と区別します。
Shamed is the past tense and past participle of the verb shame, made by adding -ed; it is pronounced /ʃeɪmd/, with a final /d/ sound. The form often suggests an external cause: a mistake, accusation, public reaction, or another person made someone feel humiliated. Remember patterns such as “felt shamed after the mistake” and “was shamed by public criticism.” Ashamed often presents the person’s inner feeling more directly, while shamed highlights having been put into that painful state. Do not confuse either word with shy, which describes social timidity.

shamed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
shamed は shame「恥」+ -ed で、「恥を感じさせられた状態」の形容詞です。shame は古英語 sceamu にさかのぼり、ゲルマン系の語で、related: ashamed, shameless。
Shamed is formed from shame plus the regular past and participial suffix -ed. Shame comes from Old English sceamu and belongs to a Germanic family of words concerning disgrace or painful awareness of wrongdoing. As a verb, shame means to cause someone to feel that emotion or to expose someone to disgrace. The participle shamed therefore describes the resulting state of a person who has been made to feel shame.
