覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 shell に -ed を付けた形で、語末 /l/ は有声音なので -ed は /d/ と発音します。shell は名詞なら「殻」、動詞なら「殻を取る」で、shelled peanuts や shelled walnuts は「殻付き」ではなく、処理が済んで「殻をむいた」食品だと覚えるのが重要です。
Shelled comes from the verb shell plus -ed. Since shell ends in the voiced sound /l/, the -ed ending is pronounced /d/. The key point is that shelled food has had its shell removed: shelled peanuts are kernels without their outer shells, and shelled peas have been taken from their pods. This can initially seem surprising because an -ed adjective sometimes suggests that something possesses the named feature. Here, however, shell is a verb meaning “remove the shell from.” Contrast shelled nuts with nuts in their shells.

shelled の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「shell」は古英語で「殻・外皮」を指し、「割る・削る」を意味する印欧祖語に遡ります。形容詞接尾辞「-ed」が結合し、「殻が割られて除去された状態→殻をむいた」という意味に展開しました。同語根には「skull（頭蓋骨）」「scalpel（メス）」があります。
Shelled is the past-participial adjective formed from the verb shell and the suffix -ed. Shell comes from Old English forms such as scell or scillu, referring to a hard outer covering, and has related Germanic forms. The noun later produced the verb meaning “remove the shell or pod from.” Shelled therefore describes the resulting state after that outer covering has been taken away.
