覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 underline「下線を引く」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞では「下線が引かれた」。語末が e なので d だけを加え、発音は /ˌʌndərˈlaɪnd/ で -ed は独立した音節にならない。underlined word、underlined sentence、underlined parts の形で覚える。
Start with the base verb underline: under tells you where the line goes, and line identifies the mark. Because underline already ends in silent e, its past tense and past participle are formed by adding only d: underline becomes underlined. It is pronounced /ˌʌndərˈlaɪnd/; the -ed does not create a separate syllable. As an adjective, picture text with a visible line beneath it. Fix the form in memory through frequent combinations such as “an underlined word,” “the underlined sentence,” and “the underlined parts,” all referring to material selected or emphasized on a page.

underlined の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語under（下に）＋ラテン語linea由来のline（線）＋-edから成る。本来の「文字の直下に線を引く」動作から、重要部分を視覚的に目立たせる「下線付き」を表す形容詞に派生した。同語根語にはlinear（線状の）やdelineate（詳細に描く）がある。
Underlined is formed from the verb underline plus the past-participle ending -ed. Underline combines under, from Old English under, with line, which entered English through Old French from Latin linea, originally referring to a linen thread and then a drawn mark. The literal action is drawing a line beneath writing. From that action, the participle developed its adjectival use for text visually marked for attention or emphasis.
