覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
titled は title「題名を付ける」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末の e は重ねず title + d。発音は /ˈtaɪtəld/ です。a poem titled “...” や The article is titled “...” の型で、「…という題名を付けられた」と受け身の関係を意識しましょう。
Form titled by adding -d to title, since the base already ends in silent e. It is pronounced /ˈtaɪtəld/, with an extra syllable before the final /d/. Think of someone attaching a title to a work: they titled a poem “Morning Light,” and afterward it is a poem titled “Morning Light.” This explains both the active past form and the common past-participle use. Learn the compact pattern “a book titled X,” which means “a book whose title is X.” Do not confuse titled with entitled when entitled means “having a right to something.”
例文

その記事のタイトルは「Life in a Small Town」です。

titled の語源・成り立ち Etymology
titled は title に -ed が付いた形で、title は古フランス語を経てラテン語 titulus「碑文、表題、肩書き」にさかのぼる。つまり「題名や称号を付けられた」が原義で、subtitle や titular にも同じ語源が見え、表題や肩書きの感じが共通している。
Titled is the regular past tense and past participle of title. Title came through Old French from Latin titulus, meaning an inscription, heading, or designation. English extended the noun into a verb meaning to give a work a name or heading, and added the regular past marker -d. Related forms such as subtitle and titular retain the central idea of an identifying heading, name, or formal designation.
