達成する
解説 Definition
achieving は achieve（達成する、成し遂げる）の現在分詞・動名詞です。目標や成果に向かって成功すること、またはそれをしている最中であることを表します。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
achieving は achieve「達成する」の語末の e を落として -ing を付けた形です。achieve → achieving と綴り、発音では /v/ の直後に -ing が続きます。is achieving なら進行中、Achieving a goal なら「目標を達成すること」。achieve a goal/result/target の組み合わせで覚え、単なる試みでなく成功に到達する点を意識します。
Form achieving by removing the final silent e from achieve and adding -ing: achieve becomes achieving. Keep the /v/ sound before the ending. In she is achieving her goal, it is a present participle describing progress; in achieving good results takes time, it is a gerund naming the activity. Learn it with common objects such as a goal, result, target, or success. The key idea is reaching the desired outcome, not merely trying. Compare attempting, which describes making an effort even when the final result is unknown.

Achieving good results takes time.
よい結果を達成するには時間がかかります。

achieving の語源・成り立ち Etymology
achieving は achieve＋-ing。achieve は古フランス語 achever「完成する」から来て、語源的には a-「〜へ」＋ chief「頭・終点」に関係し、「物事を最後の地点まで持っていく」感覚です。関連語は achievement, chief。
Achieving is formed from achieve by dropping its final silent e and adding -ing. Achieve entered English from Old French achever, “to complete” or “bring to an end.” That verb was historically connected with a phrase containing chief in the sense of “head” or “end,” ultimately from Latin caput, “head.” The word consequently developed the sense of bringing an effort successfully to its intended endpoint.
