dipping
浸す
解説 Definition
「浸す」とは、液体の中に物を入れてしばらく漬けておくことを意味します。食べ物をソースやドレッシングに浸して食べる行為や、染色・洗浄のために素材を液体に沈める行為を表します。料理の文脈では、食材に風味を加えるために液体に浸す調理法を指すこともあります。
Dipping is the present-participial form of dip, describing the action of putting something briefly or partly into a liquid or soft substance and then usually removing it. It commonly appears in progressive constructions or phrases involving food, brushes, sauces, dyes, and similar materials.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 dip「さっと浸す」に -ing を付ける際、短母音＋子音で終わるため p を重ねて dipping とし、発音は /ˈdɪpɪŋ/。dipping chips into salsa のように、物を液体へ入れてから出す動きを思い浮かべる。soaking は長時間しっかり漬ける含みがあるのに対し、dipping は短時間・部分的な動作になりやすい。
Dipping comes from dip. Because dip ends in a single consonant after a short stressed vowel, the p is doubled before -ing: dip becomes dipping, pronounced /ˈdɪpɪŋ/. Picture lowering a chip into salsa, bread into olive oil, or a brush into water, then lifting it out again. That quick downward-and-upward movement is the memory core. Dipping usually suggests brief or partial immersion, whereas soaking more often means leaving something in liquid long enough for it to absorb moisture thoroughly.

dipping の語源・成り立ち Etymology
dippingは動詞dipの現在分詞・形容詞形で、古英語dyppan「さっと沈める」にさかのぼり、ゲルマン祖語でdeepと近い語源をもちます。『深い所へ一瞬入れる』感覚が核なので『浸す・漬ける』の意味になり、関連語にdeep, dipがあります。
Dipping is the -ing form of dip, with the final p doubled according to the usual English spelling pattern. Dip is recorded from late Old English dyppan, meaning to immerse or plunge briefly, and belongs to the Germanic vocabulary associated with depth and downward movement. Its central sense remains putting something below a surface, especially temporarily or only partly.
