覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 state「明言する」の語末 e を取って -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、/steɪtɪd/ と発音します。said より改まっており、stated a fact、stated that ~、the stated purpose のように、事実・方針・条件を明確かつ公式に言葉で示す場面と結び付けましょう。
Connect “stated” with the verb “state,” meaning to present information clearly and explicitly. To form it, drop the final e of “state” before adding -ed; the ending is pronounced /ɪd/ because the base ends in /t/. Imagine an official notice, letter, report, or formal answer: it “stated the meeting time,” or someone “stated that the plan was simple.” Unlike the broad verb “said,” “stated” suggests that the information was set out clearly, deliberately, and often for the record.

stated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 status(「立てられた状態」)から派生した state の過去分詞形。語根 stare は「立つ」を意味し、同根語に station(駅)、stable(安定した)がある。公式に「立場を定めて述べた」ことから「明言された」の意味になった。
“Stated” is the past and past-participle form of the verb “state.” “State” ultimately comes from Latin “status,” meaning a standing, condition, or position, from “stare,” meaning to stand. After developing noun senses involving condition and position, it became a verb for setting something out in definite terms. Related words from the same Latin root include “status,” “station,” and “stable.”
