覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
blocking は block「ふさぐ、妨げる」に -ing を付け、行為を名詞化した形。語末を重ねず block＋ing と綴る。道路なら the blocking of the road、スポーツなら相手の進路を止める good blocking、通信なら message blocking のように、「流れや動きを止める」という共通像で覚える。
Build blocking directly from block plus -ing; keep the spelling of block unchanged and add the suffix. The noun names the action or process of creating a block. Use one central picture—a barrier stopping a flow—and apply it across contexts. The blocking of a road stops traffic, message blocking prevents communication, and blocking in a sport prevents an opponent from moving freely or reaching another player. The exact rules differ by sport, but the shared meaning is interference with movement or progress. Remember block as the base verb and blocking as the activity.

blocking の語源・成り立ち Etymology
blocking は block に動作名詞の -ing が付いた形です。block はフランス語 bloc、さらにゲルマン系の「木の塊・かたまり」にさかのぼり、もとは“固い塊でふさぐ”感覚でした。だから「遮断・妨害」の意味になります。関連語は blockade, obstacle。
Blocking is formed from block and the action-noun suffix -ing. Block entered English through French bloc, referring to a solid piece or mass, and is generally traced to a Germanic source. The physical image of a heavy solid object produced the verb meaning “obstruct or close a passage.” Adding -ing names the act or process of doing this. The word later developed specialized uses in sports, communications, computing, and performance, all retaining the central idea of preventing movement, access, or transmission.
