入札
解説 Definition
bidding は bid（入札する、値をつける）の動名詞・現在分詞で、名詞としては入札という意味です。競売や契約で、金額や条件を提示する行為を表します。
Bidding is the process of offering a price, amount, or set of terms in an auction or competition for a contract. It can involve repeated offers from buyers or formal proposals submitted by companies.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
biddingは原形bidに-ingを付けた形で、短母音の後の語末子音dを重ねてbid＋d＋ingとなります。発音もbidの後に-ingを続けます。名詞では競売の値付けや契約の入札過程を表し、bidding starts、online bidding、join the biddingというまとまりで覚えると実用的です。
Start with the verb bid, meaning to offer a price or terms. To add -ing, double the final d because bid has a short stressed vowel followed by one final consonant: bid becomes bidding, pronounced as bid plus -ing. As a noun, it names the whole competitive process, not just one offer. Remember it through common combinations: bidding starts at ten dollars, online bidding ends at five, and companies join the bidding for a project. One individual offer is a bid; the activity or process is bidding.
例文
The bidding started at ten dollars.
入札は10ドルから始まりました。
Online bidding ends at five o'clock.
オンライン入札は5時に終了します。
Several companies joined the bidding for the project.
数社がそのプロジェクトの入札に参加しました。

bidding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語「biddan（頼む・命じる）」に動名詞接尾辞-ingが付いた形。原義は「命令・要請」で、そこから競売での「値付け・入札」の意味に発展した。関連語はbid（入札する）、forbid（禁じる＝反対方向に命じる）。命じる行為が取引の場で価格提示になった。
Bidding is formed from bid plus the noun-forming or participial suffix -ing, with the final d doubled. Bid has more than one historical sense. Its auction sense developed in English from the idea of making an offer, while older uses of bid include asking, commanding, or inviting. In current commercial language, bidding refers to offering prices at an auction or submitting competitive terms for work or a contract.
