かき混ぜる
解説 Definition
churning は churn（かき混ぜる）の現在分詞・動名詞です。液体や食材を激しくかき混ぜる動作を表し、進行中の動きとして使われます。
The present participle or gerund of churn, describing the continuous or repeated vigorous agitation of cream, liquid, or a mixture, especially to make butter or thoroughly combine its contents.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 churn にそのまま -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音も churn /tʃɜːrn/ に /ɪŋ/ を続けます。もとは乳脂肪を激しく動かしてバターを作る動作です。churn cream「クリームをかき混ぜる」、keep churning「かき混ぜ続ける」と、単なる stir より強く反復する動きで覚えましょう。
Churning is formed by adding -ing directly to churn; the base pronunciation remains and is followed by /ɪŋ/. Its clearest image is cream being moved vigorously and repeatedly until it becomes butter. Learn combinations such as churning cream, churning a mixture, and keep churning. Compared with stirring, churning usually suggests stronger, sustained movement, often produced by a machine or a traditional butter churn. The same physical image can support figurative uses such as a churning stomach or churning water, but the examples here focus on literally agitating food or liquid.

churning の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 cyrnan（かき回す）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *kernuz（クリーム）と関連。元はバターを作るために乳を激しくかき混ぜる動作を指した。関連語: churn（撹拌器）、kernel（核・粒）。液体を激しく動かす様子から、比喩的に「混乱・動揺」の意味にも広がった。
Churning is the present participle and gerund of churn, formed by adding -ing without changing the base word. Churn as a verb is recorded in Old English as cyrnan, meaning to agitate cream in order to make butter. The verb developed from the name or use of the vessel in which this work was done. Its meaning later broadened to vigorous, repeated movement of liquids or mixtures.
