Modified(英語單詞)

modified是英語單詞，兼具動詞和形容詞詞性，英式發音為[ˈmɒdɪfaɪd]，美式發音為[ˈmɑːdɪfaɪd]。作動詞時意為“修改；緩和；修飾”，並作為modify的過去式和過去分詞使用；作形容詞時表示“經過輕微改變以最佳化或更適合使用”，常見於專業術語如genetically modified food（轉基因食品）、modified starch（改性澱粉）、modified asphalt（改性瀝青）等。其動詞用法涵蓋技術改進、語法修飾及行為緩和等場景。

該詞源自古法語modifier及拉丁語modificare（意為“調節”），14世紀進入中古英語使用。在技術領域，modified用於描述基因編輯動物模型構建、地震反演算法最佳化等科學改進過程。法律文本中可見於技術契約條款，涉及改進成果權屬劃分；工程領域則涉及設備參數調整與材料改性套用。
