覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
controlling は control「制御する」に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、control–controlling と l を重ねます。発音は /kənˈtroʊlɪŋ/。controlling a robot、temperature、speed のように、機械や状態を望む範囲に保つ操作を思い浮かべると、単なる watching「見守る」と区別できます。
Controlling is formed from control by adding -ing and doubling the final l: control–controlling. Picture a person using a tablet to direct a robot, a system regulating room temperature, or a player keeping speed within the right range. These examples share one core idea: actively making something behave or remain within chosen limits. Controlling can be part of a continuous verb, as in The system is controlling the temperature, or a gerund, as in Controlling the speed is important. Unlike watching, controlling involves influence, regulation, or direction.

controlling の語源・成り立ち Etymology
フランス語 contrôle（照合簿）から。contre-（対して）＋ rôle（巻物・台帳）で「台帳と照合して管理する」が原義。関連語は control, controller。記録と突き合わせて正しく保つことが「制御」の本質。
Controlling is the -ing form of control. Control came into English through French contrôle, historically connected with contre-rôle, a duplicate register used to check another roll or account. The components conveyed the idea of checking one record against another. From verification and supervision, the word developed its modern senses of directing, regulating, and keeping something within limits. Controller and controlled are later members of the same word family.
