覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
awarding は原形 award に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞で、末尾の d を重ねず awarding とする。発音は /əˈwɔːrdɪŋ/。単に give するのでなく、審査や功績の認定を経て正式に与える語で、award a prize to a project、award students scholarships の二つの型を式典の場面と結び付けよう。
Awarding is the -ing form of the verb award. Add -ing directly to award without doubling or removing a letter, and pronounce it /əˈwɔːrdɪŋ/. Unlike the broad verb give, award usually suggests an official decision based on merit, eligibility, judgment, or entitlement. Picture a university awarding degrees, a committee awarding a prize to the best project, or an organization awarding scholarships to students. Learn both common patterns: award something to someone and award someone something. The formal ceremony or decision behind the gift is the key memory link.

awarding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
アングロ・ノルマン・フランス語 awarder（判定する）に由来し、古フランス語 esgarder（注視する・判断する）から派生。語根にゲルマン系の ward（見張る）を含む。関連語に guard（守る）、reward（報いる）がある。「見定めた上で与える」が原義。
Awarding is formed from award and the present-participle suffix -ing. Award entered English from Anglo-Norman awarder, referring to a judgment or formal decision, and is related to Old French forms meaning “to consider” or “examine.” Its history includes the Germanic element represented by ward, associated with watching or guarding. The noun and verb later developed the familiar sense of a prize or of officially granting something after judgment. Awarding preserves that idea of a considered, formal grant.
