覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
assembling は assemble「組み立てる」の語末の黙字 e を落として -ing を付けた形です。発音は /əˈsɛmbəl/ から /əˈsɛmblɪŋ/ のように /ɪŋ/ が加わります。assembling a desk、shelf、parts の組み合わせで、複数の部品を一つの完成品にまとめる作業として覚えましょう。
Connect assembling with assemble, “to put parts together.” To form it, drop the final silent e and add -ing: assemble becomes assembling. The pronunciation changes from /əˈsɛmbəl/ to a form like /əˈsɛmblɪŋ/, with the -ing sound added. Picture separate desk, shelf, or machine parts gradually becoming one finished object. This image also reflects the word’s older central idea of bringing things together. Building can cover the entire act of construction, while assembling focuses especially on joining prepared components.

assembling の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 assimulare から古フランス語 assembler（ad-「～へ」+ simul「一緒に」）に由来。「一つにまとめる」が原義で、部品を集めて組み立てる意味に発展。関連語: assembly（集会・組立）、resemble（似る＝再び一つに集まる姿）。
Assembling is formed from assemble by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Assemble came into English through Old French assembler, based on a Latin-derived element meaning “together.” Its earliest central idea was bringing people or things into one place. From this developed the practical sense of joining separate components to create a complete object. The -ing form marks an ongoing process or names that process.
