覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
uplifted は uplift「持ち上げる・元気づける」の規則的な過去形・過去分詞で、原形に -ed を付け、語尾は /ɪd/ と発音します。music uplifted everyone は「音楽が皆を元気づけた」、feel uplifted は「励まされて明るい気持ちになる」です。up「上へ」＋lift「持ち上げる」という物理像を感情の上昇につなげましょう。
Uplifted is the regular past and past-participle form of uplift: add -ed, pronounced /ɪd/ after the final /t/. The structure up plus lift gives a clear image of raising something higher. Transfer that physical image to emotion: music uplifted everyone means it raised their spirits, while she felt uplifted describes the hopeful state that resulted. Learn both patterns together—something uplifted a person and a person felt uplifted. Compared with merely pleased, uplifted often suggests renewed hope, encouragement, or inspiration, especially after good news, kind words, music, or an emotionally positive experience.

uplifted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 up（上へ）+ lift（持ち上げる、古ノルド語 lypta から）の過去分詞形。文字通り「上に持ち上げられた」から精神的な高揚も表す。関連語：elevator（持ち上げる装置）、lofty（高い）。物理的な上昇が感情の高まりに転じた語。
Uplifted is formed by adding the regular past-participle ending -ed to uplift. Uplift combines up, inherited from Old English, with lift, a verb of Scandinavian origin related to Old Norse lypta, “to raise.” The compound first presents the literal action of lifting upward. Its figurative use extends physical height to emotional or moral elevation, producing the sense “encouraged” or “made more hopeful.” The -ed form can function as a past-tense verb, a past participle, or a participial adjective.
