覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
wordedは動詞word「言葉で表す」に-edを付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末が/d/なので-edは/ɪd/と発音します。「carefully／politely／clearly worded」の形で、内容そのものより、文章や発言がどんな言葉づかいで表現されているかに注目する語です。
Start with the verb word, meaning “to express something in particular words,” and add -ed to form its past tense and past participle. Because word ends in the /d/ sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/: worded. Remember it in common combinations such as “carefully worded statement,” “politely worded email,” and “clearly worded sign.” The word directs attention to the choice and arrangement of language, rather than simply to the information being communicated.

worded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 word（言葉）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *wurdą から派生。ラテン語 verbum（言葉）と同じ印欧祖語 *werdʰ-（話す）が起源。関連語: word, wording。「話す行為」が「言葉」となり、その言葉の使い方を形容する語。
Worded is formed from the verb word and the regular past-tense or participial suffix -ed. Word comes from Old English word, related to other Germanic forms and ultimately associated with an Indo-European root concerning speaking. The verb developed from the noun and means “to express in words.” Its participle worded consequently describes how a statement, question, or written message has been phrased.
