覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 warrant「保証する・正当化する」に -ed を付けた過去分詞で、語末は /ɪd/ と発音します。warranted parts や warranted service plan では「保証の付いた」、warranted concern なら「十分な根拠がある」です。warranty「保証」と結び付け、保証または根拠によって支えられた状態と覚えましょう。
Warranted is the past participle of warrant, formed with -ed; the ending is pronounced /ɪd/ because warrant ends in a /t/ sound. Link it with the familiar noun warranty. A warranted part or service plan has a formal promise behind it, while a warranted concern or response has enough evidence or reason behind it. In both uses, the central image is support: either a guarantee supports a product, or facts support a judgment. This connection helps keep warranted distinct from merely expected or desired.

warranted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
warranted は warrant「保証する・正当化する」に -ed が付いた形です。warrant は古フランス語を経てゲルマン系の「守る・保証人になる」語にさかのぼり、guarantee や warranty と同根なので、「保証された／正当な」の意味が腑に落ちます。
Warranted consists of warrant and the past-participle ending -ed. Warrant entered English through Anglo-French and Old North French forms connected with a Germanic root meaning to protect or provide assurance. It is historically related to guarantee and warranty, whose differing initial sounds reflect their passage through different French varieties. The adjective consequently developed the senses “guaranteed” and “supported by adequate justification.”
