解説 Definition
dumping はダンピング、不当に安く販売することという意味です。英語では廃棄や投棄を指すこともありますが、日本語のカタカナ語「ダンピング」と同じく、商取引での不当な安売りを指す文脈でも使われます。
Dumping is the commercial practice of selling goods, especially in a foreign market, at unfairly low prices, often below their normal value or domestic price. It may harm competing producers and can lead to investigations, regulations, or special import duties.

Begin with dump, which can mean throwing out or unloading a large amount of something. In trade, dumping creates the image of pouring large quantities of goods into a market at unfairly low prices. Learn the term through combinations such as accuse a company of dumping, prevent dumping, an anti-dumping investigation, and anti-dumping duties.

dumping は dump「どさっと落とす・投げ出す」に -ing が付いた語で、dump は近代英語の語で、起源は北欧語系・低地ドイツ語系に結びつけられます。もともとの「山と積む、投げ捨てる」感覚が、市場に商品を安く大量に流し込む「ダンピング」の意味につながりました。関連語は dump, dumper。
Dumping is formed from the verb dump plus -ing. Dump has been used in English since the early modern period for dropping, unloading, or throwing down something heavily, but its earlier origin is uncertain and may involve Germanic sound-symbolic formations. The trade sense developed from the idea of unloading large quantities of goods onto a market, especially at unusually low prices. In modern economics and trade law, the word has this more specialized commercial meaning.
