覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
subduesは原形subdueの三人称単数現在で、語末がeなので単純に-sを付ける。subdue /səbˈduː/ に対しsubdues /səbˈduːz/ と末尾は/z/。the army subdues a rebellion「軍が反乱を鎮圧する」、she subdues her anger「彼女が怒りを抑える」の二場面で、外的な抵抗と内的な感情の両方を押さえる語と覚える。
Subdues is the third-person singular present form of subdue: he, she, or it subdues. Because subdue already ends in silent e, simply add -s. The base is pronounced /səbˈduː/, and the ending in subdues is /z/: /səbˈduːz/. Picture two typical scenes: an army subdues a rebellion, and a person subdues anger before speaking calmly. Both share the core idea of bringing something powerful or resistant under control. Unlike suppresses, subdues can also suggest defeating or taming an active opponent.

The army subdued the rebellion.

subdues の語源・成り立ち Etymology
subdues は subdue の三人称単数形で、語源はラテン語 sub-（下へ）+ ducere（導く）です。conduct や induce と同じ duc-/duct- 系で、『下に導いて従わせる』というイメージから『鎮圧する』の意味になりました。
Subdues is the third-person singular present form of subdue. Subdue entered English through Old French and is ultimately associated with Latin subducere, formed from sub-, “from under” or “away,” and ducere, “to lead.” Its history developed toward the sense of bringing someone or something under control. The Latin root ducere also appears in English words such as induce and conduct. The final -s marks present-tense agreement with a singular third-person subject.
