覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
waved は wave「手を振る」に -d を付けた規則的な過去形・過去分詞で、語尾は /d/ と発音します。wave at 人 は「人に手を振る」、wave goodbye to 人 は「人にさよならと手を振る」という定番表現です。水面の wave「波」と同じく、手を左右に揺らす動きを思い浮かべると結び付きます。
Waved is the regular past tense and past participle of wave. Because wave already ends in silent e, only d is added, and the ending is pronounced /d/. Imagine the hand moving from side to side like the rising and falling shape of a wave. Learn it in two common patterns: waved at someone for a greeting or signal, and waved goodbye to someone when parting. The time has already passed, so She waved at me describes a completed gesture, unlike She is waving, which is happening now.

waved の語源・成り立ち Etymology
waved は wave の過去形で、wave は古英語 wafian に近いゲルマン系の語で「揺れる・揺らす」が मूल義です。手を左右に揺らす動作がそのまま「手を振った」になり、関連語に waver と wavy があります。
Waved is formed from wave with the regular past ending -ed. The verb wave is related to older Germanic words describing swinging, fluttering, or unsteady movement, including Old English wafian, “to wave or fluctuate.” Its meaning developed from general back-and-forth movement to deliberate movement of the hand or arm as a greeting or signal. The noun wave and the verb share the image of repeated rising, falling, or side-to-side motion.
