覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
billing は bill「請求する」に -ing を付けた形で、この項目では動作そのものより「請求・請求処理」という名詞。billing department「請求部門」、billing address「請求先住所」、billing error「請求上の誤り」の三つを場面ごと覚えると、invoice や payment との関係も整理しやすい。
Connect billing directly to the verb bill, “to charge for goods or services,” plus -ing. Here, -ing turns the activity into a noun referring to the whole payment-request process. Build a small group of common combinations: the billing department prepares invoices, a billing address identifies where account information belongs, and a billing error means something in the charge is wrong. This distinguishes billing from payment: billing asks for or records the money owed, while payment is the act of supplying that money.
例文

Please check the billing address before you pay.
支払う前に請求先住所を確認してください。

billing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 bile（書状、文書）を経て中世ラテン語 billa（証書）に遡る。「文書に記載する→請求する」と意味が発展した。関連語に bill（請求書・法案）や billboard（掲示板）がある。
Billing is formed from the verb bill and the noun-forming ending -ing. In its financial use, bill refers to a written statement of money owed and to the act of charging someone.

Adding -ing produces the sense of the activity, system, or administrative process of preparing and issuing charges.
