覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 agree に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞です。agree は語末の ee を保って agreeing と綴り、「アグリーイング」のように母音の境目を意識します。agree with a person、agree on a rule、agree to a proposal という前置詞の違いと、be agreeing や Agreeing too quickly の形で覚えます。
Agreeing is the -ing form of agree. Keep the final double e when adding -ing: agree becomes agreeing, not “agreing.” The pronunciation also keeps the vowel transition between agree and -ing. Learn it through its usual patterns: agreeing with someone means sharing that person’s view, agreeing on a rule means reaching a common decision about it, and agreeing to a proposal means accepting it. In “Agreeing too quickly can cause problems,” the form acts as a gerund naming the act of consent.
例文

彼らは新しい規則について合意しようとしています。
Agreeing too quickly can cause problems later.
あまり早く同意すると、後で問題が起こることがあります。

agreeing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語ad-（～に向かって）+ grātus（喜ばしい）からフランス語agréerを経て英語に入った。「相手に喜ばしいものにする→同意する」が原義。同根語にgratitude（感謝）やgrace（恩寵）がある。
Agreeing consists of agree plus the participial and gerund suffix -ing. Agree came through Old French agreer, meaning “to please” or “accept favorably,” from a phrase ultimately associated with Latin ad, “to,” and gratus, “pleasing” or “welcome.” Its meaning developed from finding something pleasing to accepting it or sharing another person’s view. Related historical vocabulary includes gratitude and grace.
