覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
tipped は tip「傾ける・傾く」の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞では「片側に傾いた」状態を表します。語末が短母音＋子音の tip は p を重ねて -ed を付け、tip–tipped となり、発音は /tɪpt/ です。tipped to one side「片側に傾いた」を、upright「直立した」と対比して覚えましょう。
Start with the verb tip, meaning to make something lean or move off balance. Its past form doubles the final p before -ed: tip becomes tipped, not tiped. Because the base ends in the voiceless sound /p/, the -ed ending is pronounced /t/, giving /tɪpt/. As an adjective, tipped describes the resulting state. Picture a chair tipped to one side or a glass standing at an angle. Contrast tipped with upright or level, and distinguish a tipped object, which is merely angled, from one that has tipped over and fallen fully onto its side.
例文

傾いたコップが流しの近くにありました。

tipped の語源・成り立ち Etymology
tipped は tip「傾ける、先端を向ける」に -ed が付いた形です。tip は中英語 tippen に由来し、北欧語系の語と関係づけられることが多く、tip や tiptoe と同系なので、「先端側へ傾いた」から「傾いた」という意味になります。
Tipped is formed from tip plus the past-participle ending -ed, with the final p doubled under the usual English spelling rule for a stressed short vowel followed by one consonant. Tip in the sense “incline or overturn” developed in English from the idea of moving something toward or on its tip. The deeper history is not fully certain, though the word is often associated with Germanic or Scandinavian forms referring to a point or extremity.
