覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
bottling は bottle「瓶に詰める」の語末の e を取って -ing を加えた動名詞・現在分詞で、発音は bottle /ˈbɒtəl/ に /ɪŋ/ が続く形です。ここでは工程名の「瓶詰め」。bottling process、bottling plant、during bottling のような製造現場の表現で覚えましょう。
Begin with bottle used as a verb: to bottle something is to put it into bottles. For the -ing form, the final silent e is dropped, producing bottling. Its pronunciation adds /ɪŋ/ to the spoken base rather than pronouncing the written e. As a noun, bottling names a manufacturing stage, so remember bottling process, bottling plant, and during bottling. Picture filtered juice moving along a production line, entering bottles, and then being sealed. This process image separates bottling from bottle, which usually names the container itself.
例文

ジュースをろ過した後に瓶詰めが始まります。
The workers checked each bottle during bottling.

bottling の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 boteille（瓶）から英語 bottle が生まれ、その動名詞形。大元はラテン語 butticula（小さな樽）で buttis（樽）の縮小形。関連語: butler（元は瓶＝ワインの管理人）、boutique（小さな店）。
Bottling is the -ing form of the verb bottle, created by dropping the final silent e before adding -ing. Bottle came into English from Old French boteille, ultimately from Late Latin butticula, a diminutive related to buttis, “cask” or “barrel.” The container name later developed a verb meaning “put into bottles.” Bottling then came to denote either that ongoing action or the complete industrial process built around it.
