覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
worn は不規則動詞 wear「着る・身につける」の過去分詞で、wear–wore–worn と三段階で覚えます。発音は /wɔːrn/ で、過去形 wore とは語尾の /n/ で区別します。have worn a jacket なら着用経験、was worn by members なら「着用された」という受け身です。「擦り切れた」の形容詞用法とは文脈で区別しましょう。
Worn is the irregular past participle of wear: wear–wore–worn. Pronounce it /wɔːrn/; the final /n/ distinguishes it from the past form wore. Use worn after have in perfect constructions, as in I have worn this jacket many times. Use it after be in a passive construction, as in the uniform was worn by every member. Keep this clothing sense separate from the related adjective meaning “damaged or thin through long use,” although that meaning developed from things having been worn repeatedly.

その制服はチーム全員に着用されました。

worn の語源・成り立ち Etymology
worn は wear の過去分詞で、語源は古英語 werian「身に着ける・覆う」です。さらに印欧祖語 *wes-「衣服を着る」にさかのぼり、「身につけて使われたもの」が「擦り減った・着古した」へ自然に広がりました。関連語は wear、vest。
Worn is the inherited past participle of wear, from Old English werian, “to clothe, cover, or carry on the body.” The verb belongs to an old Germanic word family and is commonly connected with an Indo-European root associated with clothing. Its irregular sequence wear–wore–worn preserves older patterns rather than using -ed. From repeated wearing, worn also developed the adjectival meaning “used until rubbed, damaged, or tired-looking.”
