覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 concur「同意する」の語末 r を重ねて -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音の中心は第2音節です。con-「共に」と「走る」に由来する語幹から、意見が同じ方向へ進む像を持ちましょう。concur with a person/proposal、concur on a point の形で覚えると実用的です。
Connect concurring directly with the base verb concur. Because concur ends in a stressed vowel followed by r, the final r is doubled before -ing: concur becomes concurring. Its historical parts suggest people “running together,” which provides a useful image of opinions moving in the same direction. Learn it through formal patterns such as concurring with the chair’s proposal and concurring on the need for testing. Unlike casual agreeing, concurring often appears in professional, legal, or committee discussions.
例文

concurring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語concurrere（共に走る）から。con-（共に）+currere（走る）の構成で、意見が同じ方向に「一緒に走る」イメージから「同意する」の意味に。関連語：current（流れ）、occur（起こる＝向かって走る）。
Concurring is the present-particial and gerund form of concur, with the final r doubled before the suffix -ing. Concur entered English through Latin concurrere, formed from con-, “together,” and currere, “to run.” The literal idea of running together developed into that of events coinciding and opinions agreeing. This historical image is also reflected in related Latin-derived words involving movement or occurrence.
