swelled は原形 swell「膨らむ・増大する」の規則的な過去形・過去分詞で、swell＋ed と作り、発音は /sweld/ です。ankle swelled「足首が腫れた」、river swelled「川が増水した」、chest swelled with pride「誇りで胸が膨らんだ」の三場面で、物理的・量的・感情的な増大をまとめて覚えます。
Swelled is the regular past form of swell: add -ed to make swell + ed, pronounced with a final /d/ sound. Keep one central image—something becoming larger—and apply it to several common scenes. An ankle swelled after an injury, a river swelled after heavy rain, and someone’s chest swelled with pride. The object changes, but the movement from smaller to larger remains. Also notice swollen, an older participial form now commonly used as an adjective, as in a swollen ankle. Use swelled for the past event and recognize swollen especially when describing the resulting enlarged condition.

swelled の語源・成り立ち Etymology
swelled は swell の過去形で、古英語 swellan「膨れる」にさかのぼるゲルマン系の語です。-ed は過去を示し、もとは「ふくらんで大きくなる」感覚なので「膨らんだ」となり、関連語に swollen、swelling があります。
Swelled is formed from swell with the regular past-tense and participial suffix -ed. Swell descends from Old English swellan, a Germanic verb meaning to grow in size, rise, or become inflated. The core physical idea of enlargement later extended naturally to increasing water, sound, crowds, and emotions. English also preserves swollen, an older strong past participle, particularly as an adjective describing the resulting enlarged state, while swelled remains standard as the simple past and also occurs as a participle.
