滑った
解説 Definition
slipped は slip（滑る、滑って転びそうになる）の過去形・過去分詞です。足元や物がつるっと動いて、意図せず位置がずれたり滑ったりしたことを表します。
The past tense and past participle of “slip,” used when a person or object moved unexpectedly and without control across or out of a surface or position, often because it was smooth, wet, or difficult to hold.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 slip「滑る」に過去・過去分詞の -ed が付いた形。語末の p を重ねて slipped とし、発音は /slɪpt/ で -ed は「イド」ではなく /t/。slip on the ice「氷で滑る」、slip from one’s hand「手から滑り落ちる」を場面ごと覚えるとよい。
Connect slipped directly with the base verb slip, meaning to slide or move unintentionally. Because slip ends in one vowel plus one final consonant, the p is doubled before -ed: slip becomes slipped. Its ending is pronounced /t/, so the whole word sounds like /slɪpt/, not “slip-id.” Picture two common scenes: someone slipped on a wet floor, and a cup slipped from someone’s hand. These patterns help distinguish an accidental loss of control from deliberate movements such as sliding an object across a table.
例文
I slipped on the wet floor.
私はぬれた床で滑りました。
The cup slipped from my hand.
カップが私の手から滑り落ちました。
She slipped on the ice but did not fall.
彼女は氷の上で滑りましたが、転びませんでした。

slipped の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語 slippen は中低地ドイツ語 slippen（滑る）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *slipan が語根。slippery（滑りやすい）や slipper（スリッパ＝滑るように履く靴）と同根。「つるりと滑って制御を失う」が核心イメージで、過失や見落としの比喩にも使われる。
Slipped is formed from slip plus the past-tense and past-participle suffix -ed, with the final p doubled according to the usual spelling rule. Slip entered Middle English as slippen and is related to Middle Low German slippen, “to slip or glide.” Its central image is smooth, uncontrolled movement. The same Germanic base appears in slippery, describing a surface on which slipping can easily occur, and in slipper, originally a kind of footwear that is easily slipped on.
