覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 disrespect「敬意を払わない」に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、綴りの変化はありません。原形 /ˌdɪsrɪˈspekt/ に /ɪŋ/ が加わり、末尾は /ktɪŋ/。dis-「欠如・反対」+ respect と分け、disrespecting a coach や someone’s experience のように、人や価値を軽んじる場面で覚えます。
Disrespecting is the -ing form of disrespect, created by adding -ing without changing the base spelling. The pronunciation likewise keeps the stressed final part of disrespect and adds /ɪŋ/. Break the word into dis-, expressing absence or opposition, and respect. Then picture behavior that removes respect from an interaction: speaking rudely to a coach, ignoring classroom rules, or dismissing someone’s experience. The object matters: one can disrespect a person, an institution, a rule, or a person’s contribution. It describes active lack of regard, not merely private disagreement.

disrespecting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
disrespecting は dis-「欠如・反対」+ respect の形です。respect は古フランス語経由でラテン語 respectus「振り返って見る・配慮」にさかのぼり、相手を気にかける感覚が元。そこに dis- が付いて「敬意を払わない」となります。関連語は respect, inspect。
Disrespecting is formed from disrespect plus the participial ending -ing. Disrespect combines dis-, indicating absence, reversal, or opposition, with respect. Respect came through French from Latin respectus, related to respicere, “to look back at” or “regard.” The sense developed from looking toward or considering someone to holding that person in esteem; adding dis- produces the meaning of withholding such regard.
