Etymology
Past participle of 'betreuen' (to look after), from 'treu' (loyal, faithful) with the prefix 'be-'. To be loyal to someone, hence to care for them.
Memory Tips
Think of being 'true' (treu) to someone's needs. The 'be-' prefix makes it an action done to someone. So, 'betreut' means cared for.
