disliking
嫌い
解説 Definition
disliking は dislike（嫌う、好まない）の現在分詞・動名詞です。形容詞的には、何かを嫌っている、好ましく思っていない状態を表します。
Feeling or expressing a lack of liking for someone or something, or the act of having that feeling. It is the -ing form of dislike and most naturally functions as a participle or gerund, as in admitting disliking a rule.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 dislike「嫌う」の末尾 e を残したまま -ing を加えた形で、動名詞なら「嫌うこと」、現在分詞なら「嫌っている」です。admit disliking ～ のように動詞の目的語としてよく使います。名詞を直接修飾する disliking attitude は不自然になりやすく、an attitude of dislike などが自然です。
Connect disliking directly with dislike, “not to like.” Unlike verbs that drop a silent final e before -ing, dislike keeps its e because it is part of the spelling before the consonant sound in liking: dislike becomes disliking. Remember the natural pattern admit disliking something, where the form acts as a gerund, or “was disliking,” where it is a participle. Direct attributive uses such as “a disliking attitude” are uncommon; English more naturally says “an attitude of dislike” or “a hostile attitude.”

disliking の語源・成り立ち Etymology
否定接頭辞 dis-（ラテン語由来＝反対・否定）＋ like（古英語 līcian＝気に入る）＋ -ing の形容詞用法。「好む」の反対で「嫌っている」状態を表す。関連語: dislike（嫌悪）、unlike（似ていない）。dis- が感情動詞に付くと反感を示す形になる。
Disliking is formed from dislike and the suffix -ing. Dislike combines dis-, expressing opposition or a negative relation, with like. The verb like descends from Old English lician, meaning “to please or be pleasing.” Dislike has been used as a verb and noun for centuries to express an absence of liking or a feeling of aversion. Adding -ing produces the participle or gerund without changing the spelling of the base before the suffix.
