subjected
対象となった
解説 Definition
subjected は subject（さらす、受けさせる）の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞的に「対象となった、さらされた」という意味で使われます。多くの場合、検査・扱い・圧力などを受けた状態を表します。
Having been made to undergo, experience, or be affected by a particular process, treatment, test, pressure, or condition. It commonly appears in the passive pattern “be subjected to,” especially when the experience is imposed rather than freely chosen.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
subjected は動詞 subject に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語尾は /ɪd/、全体は /səbˈdʒektɪd/ と発音します。形容詞的にも be subjected to a test/review/pressure の受け身の型が中心です。「人や物を検査・扱い・圧力の下に置く」という sub-「下」の像で覚え、to を落とさないようにしましょう。
Form subjected by adding -ed to the verb subject. Because the base ends in /t/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving /səbˈdʒektɪd/; the verb is stressed on the second syllable. Learn it in the fixed passive pattern be subjected to: samples were subjected to tests, a plan was subjected to review, or people were subjected to pressure. The historical image is being placed “under” something, which suits an imposed test, treatment, or condition. Do not omit to after subjected in this construction.

subjected の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 subjectus（下に置かれた）が語源。sub-（下に）+ jacere（投げる）の過去分詞形で、「支配下に投げ置かれた」が原義。関連語: subject（主題・臣民）、inject（注入する）。権力や条件の「下に置かれる」→「～の対象となる」という意味に発展した。
Subjected is the past-tense and past-participle form of the verb subject. Subject ultimately comes through French and Latin from Latin subiectus, the past participle of subicere, “to place or throw under.” That verb combines sub-, “under,” with iacere, “to throw.” The physical image of placing someone or something underneath authority or control developed into the modern sense “to cause to undergo or experience.” The regular English ending -ed creates subjected.
