覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
violated は violate（違反する）に -ed がついた形として覚える。ルールや約束には見えない線があり、その線を破ってしまった状態が violated「違反した」。verbal「口頭の」と形が少し似ていても、こちらは violence や violation と同じ vi- の仲間で、言葉ではなく『規則・権利・境界を破る』側です。violated the law, violated the rules のように、何に違反したかを後ろに置く形で定着させるとよいです。
Treat violated as violate plus the regular past-tense or past-participle ending -ed. The final -ed is pronounced /ɪd/ because violate ends in a /t/ sound. Imagine a law, contract, right, or boundary as a line that should remain intact; if someone crosses or damages that line, they violated it. Learn the verb with its usual direct objects: violated the law, violated the rules, violated the contract, and violated basic rights. The related noun violation and adjective violent share a historical association with force or injury, although their modern meanings and uses differ.

violated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
violated は violate＋-ed。violate はラテン語 violare「乱暴に扱う、傷つける」に由来し、関連語に violence, violation がある。もとは相手や規則の境界を力ずくで傷つける感覚で、その境界を破った状態から「違反した」になった。
Violated is formed from violate and the inflectional ending -ed. Violate entered English through Latin violatus, the participle of violare, meaning “to treat with violence, injure, or dishonor.” Its sense developed from physical or moral injury to the breaking of laws, agreements, rights, and boundaries. Violation is a closely related noun, while violence belongs to the same broader Latin word family, though the modern words are not interchangeable.
