覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
conveying は原形 convey「運ぶ」に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、y は残し conveying とします。発音の末尾は /ɪŋ/。convey supplies to a village、convey boxes through a warehouse のように、物を経路に沿って目的地へ届ける場面で覚えます。
Link conveying to the base verb convey, meaning to carry something along a route to a destination. Add -ing directly and keep the final y: convey becomes conveying, with the ending pronounced /ɪŋ/. Picture supplies moving to a village in a truck or small parts traveling between machines on a conveyor belt. Useful patterns include conveying goods to a place and a belt used for conveying parts. Conveying can also refer to communicating ideas, but the examples here use its physical transportation sense.

conveying の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 conveier（護送する）から、ラテン語 con-（共に）+ via（道）が語源。「道を共にする→運び届ける」が原義。物理的な運搬から意味や感情を「伝える」用法にも拡大した。関連語：convoy（護送隊）、conveyance（運搬・譲渡）。
Conveying is formed from convey plus -ing. Convey entered English through Old French conveier, meaning to accompany, escort, or transport. The word is historically associated with Latin con-, “together,” and via, “way” or “road,” giving the central image of taking something along a route. Its physical sense of carrying goods later supported the figurative sense of carrying information, feelings, or meaning to another person.
