覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 bargain に -ing を付けた形で、語末の e を落とす必要はなく、そのまま bargaining となる。名詞では「価格・条件をめぐる交渉」、現在分詞では「交渉している」。bargaining over the price、collective bargaining のまとまりで覚えると、単なる会話ではなく合意を目指す駆け引きだと分かる。
Bargaining is formed by adding -ing directly to bargain: bargain becomes bargaining, with no final letter removed. As a noun, it names the process of negotiating over a price or other terms; as a participle, it describes people actively negotiating. Remember it through common combinations such as bargaining over the price, bargaining power, and collective bargaining. These expressions show that the word involves an exchange of proposals and concessions aimed at agreement, rather than an ordinary conversation. Link it to a market or contract discussion in which each side adjusts its position.

bargaining の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語「bargaignier（値切る・交渉する）」に由来し、さらにゲルマン祖語の「borganjan（貸し借りする）」に遡る。bargain（取引）に動名詞接尾辞-ingが付いた形。関連語はbargain、broker。「やり取り」が原義で、交渉の意味に発展した。
Bargaining consists of bargain plus the productive English suffix -ing. Bargain entered English through Old French bargaignier, meaning to haggle or negotiate, and its deeper origin is generally associated with Germanic ideas of lending or exchange. The noun bargain came to denote an agreement or advantageous purchase, while the verb developed the sense of negotiating its terms. Adding -ing forms both the verbal participle and the noun for the negotiating process.
