覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 campaign に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、発音も campaign の末尾に /ɪŋ/ を加えます。名詞的には「選挙・社会運動のための継続的な働きかけ」です。campaigning for clean water の for は求める目標、campaigning against pollution の against は反対対象を示します。一度の宣伝より、組織的で継続的な活動を連想します。
Campaigning is campaign plus -ing, with no spelling change; its pronunciation adds the -ing sound to the base word. As a noun or gerund, it refers to sustained, organized efforts to influence voters or public opinion. Learn the patterns campaigning for better schools and campaigning against pollution: for introduces the goal supported, while against introduces the policy or problem opposed. Picture candidates speaking to voters or activists spending a weekend raising awareness. Unlike a single advertisement, campaigning usually involves a connected series of activities directed toward a political or social objective.

campaigning の語源・成り立ち Etymology
campaigning は campaign に動名詞語尾 -ing が付いた形です。campaign はフランス語 campagne、さらにラテン語 campus「野・平地」にさかのぼり、もとは野外での軍事行動、そこから組織的な運動や選挙活動の意味へ広がりました。関連語に campus, campaigner があります。
Campaigning is formed by adding -ing directly to campaign. Campaign came through French campagne from Italian campagna, ultimately based on Late Latin campania and Latin campus, “field” or “open ground.” It first referred to military operations conducted in the field during a particular season. The idea of an organized series of actions toward one objective later extended from warfare to elections, politics, advertising, and movements for social change.
