覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
bucking は動詞 buck に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末の k は重ねません。馬や牛が背を丸め、脚を突っ張って激しく跳ねる動きです。a bucking horse なら「暴れる馬」、during the bucking なら「暴れている間」。単なる running ではなく、乗り手を振り落とすような抵抗を意識します。
Begin with the verb buck and add -ing without doubling the final k: bucking. Picture a horse or bull arching its back, lowering or raising its head, and kicking or jumping violently, often to dislodge a rider. In a bucking horse, the form is a present participle modifying the animal; in the rider stayed calm during the bucking, it functions as a gerund or action noun. Keep it distinct from ordinary jumping or running: bucking specifically suggests forceful, resistant movements typical of an animal trying to reject control or a rider.

bucking の語源・成り立ち Etymology
bucking は動詞 buck「馬が背を反らせて跳ね、乗り手を振り落とそうとする」からできた名詞です。buck 自体は古英語 bucca「雄ヤギ」にさかのぼり、荒く跳ねる雄獣の姿が「暴れること」になりました。関連語は buck、buckskin。
Bucking is formed from the verb buck plus the suffix -ing. The verb is historically connected with buck, a male deer or, in older usage, a male goat. Buck itself goes back to Old English bucca and related Germanic forms. The energetic leaping or butting associated with male animals contributed to the verb meaning to jump violently, especially with an arched back, and hence to the action noun bucking.
