覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
skidded は skid「制御を失って横滑りする」の過去形・過去分詞です。短母音の後の語末子音 d を重ねて -ed を付け、skid–skidded となり、/ˈskɪdɪd/ と発音します。車・自転車が wet road や ice の上で滑る場面を思い浮かべ、単なる slide との違いを押さえます。
Start with skid, a short verb for an uncontrolled slide, especially on a road. Because it ends in one vowel followed by one consonant, the final d is doubled before -ed: skid–skidded. The ending is pronounced as an extra syllable, /ˈskɪdɪd/. Picture tires losing their grip on a wet road as a car skidded around a corner or skidded to a stop. Unlike the broader slide, skid usually suggests lost traction and reduced control.
例文
The car skidded on the wet road.
その車はぬれた道路で滑りました。
His bike skidded when he turned too sharply.
彼が急に曲がったとき、自転車が滑りました。
The truck skidded to a stop near the corner.
そのトラックは角の近くで滑りながら止まりました。

skidded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スカンジナビア語系のskið（木片、スキー板）に由来し、滑る動作を表すskidの過去分詞形。元は丸太の上を滑らせて物を運ぶ意味だった。関連語: ski, slide。北欧の雪国文化から「制御できない滑り」の意味に発展した語。
Skidded is the past-tense and past-participle form of skid. Skid is related to a Scandinavian word for a piece of wood or wooden support, comparable to Old Norse skíð. Heavy objects were once moved on wooden runners or logs, creating the association with sliding. The modern verb commonly describes wheels, vehicles, or feet slipping across a surface without full control.
