覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
wore は wear「着る・身につける」の不規則過去形で、wear–wore–worn と変化する。発音も wear /wer/ に対して wore /wɔːr/ と母音が変わる。wore a dress、wore glasses、wore warm coats のように、過去に服・眼鏡・装飾品を身につけていた場面で使う。
Learn the irregular three-part pattern wear–wore–worn. Wore is the simple past, while worn is the past participle: she wore a blue dress yesterday, but she has worn that dress before. Notice the vowel change in pronunciation from wear /wer/ to wore /wɔːr/. The verb is not limited to clothes; people wear glasses, jewelry, hats, and shoes too. Connect wore with clear past-time expressions such as yesterday, at school, or during the ceremony, and picture the item being on the person’s body at that past moment.
例文

wore の語源・成り立ち Etymology
wore は wear の過去形。wear は古英語 werian「身にまとう・覆う」に由来し、さらに印欧祖語 *wes-「着る」にさかのぼるため、vest・invest と同根で、「身につけていた」という意味になる。
Wore is the inherited irregular past form of wear. Wear comes from Old English werian, meaning “to clothe, cover, or put on,” and is related to an Indo-European root associated with clothing. Cognates and distant relatives include Latin vestis, “clothing,” which also lies behind English vest and invest. The change from wear to wore reflects an old Germanic pattern of forming the past tense by changing the vowel rather than adding the regular ending -ed.
