覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
wood「森・木」に「〜を備えた状態」を表す -ed が付いた形で、語末は /ɪd/ と発音されます。wooded path・hill・area のように、一本だけでなく多くの木に覆われた場所を修飾します。wooden「木製の」は材料、wooded「樹木が茂った」は景観を表す、と対比して覚えましょう。
Connect wooded with the noun wood in its sense of a forest or collection of trees. The suffix -ed expresses a state of being provided or covered with something, and after the /d/ sound of wood it is pronounced /ɪd/. Picture a path passing under many trees: it is a wooded path. Keep wooded separate from wooden. A wooded hill has trees growing on it, while a wooden chair is made from wood. Common combinations include wooded area, wooded hillside, wooded valley, and wooded path.

wooded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 wudu(森・木材)に形容詞化の接尾辞 -ed が付いた形。ゲルマン祖語 *widuz に遡る。関連語: wood(木材)、woodland(森林地帯)。「木で覆われた」という意味で、-ed が「〜を備えた」という状態を表す用法である。
Wooded is built from wood and the suffix -ed, here expressing the condition of being furnished or covered with trees. Wood comes from Old English wudu, referring to a forest, trees, or timber, and is related to other Germanic forms reconstructed from Proto-Germanic widuz. The adjective therefore preserves the landscape sense of wood: a wooded place is one characterized by growing trees.
