覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
bellowing は bellow「太い声で怒鳴る・ほえる」に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、原形の発音 /ˈbeloʊ/ に /ɪŋ/ が続きます。his bellowing なら「彼の怒鳴り声」という名詞、was bellowing at the players なら進行形です。普通の shouting より、腹から出すような低く大きい声を意識しましょう。
Take the base verb bellow, meaning “shout or roar in a loud, deep voice,” and add -ing with no spelling change. The pronunciation keeps bellow /ˈbeloʊ/ and adds /ɪŋ/. As a noun, his bellowing or the bellowing from the hallway refers to the loud sound or behavior itself. As a participle, he was bellowing at the players forms a progressive verb phrase. Compared with ordinary shouting, bellowing suggests greater volume, depth, and force, like the roar of a large animal or an angry person projecting from the chest.
例文

廊下から聞こえていた怒鳴り声が突然止まりました。

bellowing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
bellowing は動詞 bellow に -ing が付いた形で、bellow は古英語 bellan「ほえる・うなる」に由来します。語自体が大きな鳴き声をまねた擬音的な語なので、「怒鳴る・どなる声」という意味が音感から納得できます。関連語は bellow, bellower。
Bellowing is made from bellow plus the suffix -ing. Bellow descends from Old English bellan, “to roar, bark, or make a loud noise,” and has Germanic relatives connected with loud animal and human cries. Its sound has also encouraged an imitative association in English. Adding -ing creates either a present participle describing an ongoing action or a gerund that names the act or sound of roaring or shouting forcefully.
