解説 Definition
declaring は declare（宣言する、表明する）の現在分詞・動名詞です。公式に何かを発表する場面や、自分の考えをはっきり述べる場面で使われます。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 declare の語末 e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音の核は declare と同じ。「隠さず明らかにする」という語源的な像から、declare a decision、declare support のように決定や支持を公に、はっきり表明する場面と結び付ける。単に話す say より公式性が強い。
Declaring is the -ing form of declare: remove the final silent e before adding -ing. Use it for an action in progress, as in “The mayor is declaring a new plan,” or as a gerund after words such as before. Its memory core is making something clear and public. Common patterns include declaring a decision, declaring support, and declaring a state of emergency. Unlike simply saying something, declaring usually sounds definite, open, and sometimes official.
例文

She stood up before declaring her decision.
彼女は立ち上がってから自分の決定を宣言しました。
The company is declaring its support for the project.
その会社はその計画への支持を表明しています。

declaring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 declarare（de-「完全に」+ clarare「明らかにする」← clarus「明るい・明瞭な」）に由来。「完全に明らかにする」が原義で、公式に表明する意味に。関連語: clear（明瞭な）、clarify（明確にする）。
Declaring is formed from declare by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Declare comes through French from Latin declarare, built from de-, used intensively, and clarare, “to make clear,” from clarus, “clear” or “bright.” Its central historical sense was to make something completely clear. From that idea developed the modern use of announcing a fact, decision, or position openly and often officially.
