覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 dissent に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末を変えず dissenting、発音は /dɪˈsentɪŋ/ です。dis-「離れて」＋「感じる・考える」という成り立ちから、皆と考えが離れて異議を唱える姿を連想します。dissent from a decision や dissenting opinion とまとめて覚えます。
Start with the base verb dissent and add -ing without changing the spelling: dissenting, pronounced /dɪˈsentɪŋ/. Its historical parts suggest “feeling or thinking apart,” which fits the image of someone separating from the majority view and stating an objection. Learn the patterns dissenting from a committee’s decision and openly dissenting during a meeting. Also remember dissenting opinion, a common legal phrase for an opinion that disagrees with the court’s majority. Unlike merely doubting something privately, dissenting normally involves a recognizable disagreement with an established decision, proposal, or prevailing view.

dissenting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
dissenting は dissent の現在分詞で、古フランス語経由・ラテン語 dissentire に由来します。dis-「離れて」＋ sentire「感じる・考える」から成り、関連語は consent・sense。『考えが一致しない』ことがそのまま『反対する』です。
Dissenting is formed from dissent plus the participial suffix -ing. Dissent entered English through French from Latin dissentire, composed of dis-, “apart” or “differently,” and sentire, “to feel, perceive, or think.” Its underlying idea is therefore to think or feel differently from others. The same Latin verb sentire lies behind words connected with sense and sentiment, while consent reflects the contrasting idea of feeling or agreeing together.
