覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
subsidized は subsidize「補助金を出す」の過去分詞が形容詞化した語。語尾は子音字を重ねず、そのまま -d を付け、発音は /ˈsʌbsɪdaɪzd/ と末尾が /d/ になる。subsidized housing・meals・child care のように、外部の資金援助で利用者の負担が軽い場面と結び付けて覚える。
Connect subsidized directly with the verb subsidize, “to support financially.” Because subsidize already ends in e, its past participle is formed by adding only d, and the final sound in subsidized is /d/. Picture a government or institution paying part of a bill so that the user pays less. Common combinations such as subsidized housing, subsidized meals, and subsidized child care reinforce the practical meaning: the item or service has financial support behind it, rather than simply being cheap or free.

subsidized の語源・成り立ち Etymology
subsidized は subsidy に動詞化の -ize、さらに -ed が付いた形です。subsidy はラテン語 subsidium「援軍・援助」に由来し、sub-「下で」＋ sedere「座る」が核で、後ろに控えて支える発想から「補助金つき」の意になりました。関連語は subsidy, subsidiary。
Subsidized is the past participle of subsidize, formed with the suffix -ed. Subsidize was built from subsidy and the verb-forming suffix -ize. Subsidy ultimately comes through Latin subsidium, meaning “support, assistance, or reserve troops,” from a formation related to sub-, “under,” and sedere, “to sit.” The underlying image is of support held in reserve, which developed into the modern financial sense.
