覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形は educate「教育する」。語末の無音の e を取って -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は「エジュケイティング」に近い。be educating children なら進行中の教育、focus on educating workers なら「教育すること」を表すと覚える。
Connect educating directly with its base verb educate. The final silent e is dropped before -ing: educate becomes educating. In “She is educating children,” it forms the progressive and describes an activity in progress. After a preposition, as in “a program for educating workers,” it functions as a gerund and names the activity itself. Remember that educating usually involves developing someone’s knowledge, skills, or understanding over time, rather than merely giving one piece of information.

educating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 educare（育てる）に由来し、接頭辞 e-（外へ）+ ducare（導く）で「能力を外へ引き出す」が原義。関連語: deduce（推論する）、conduct（導く）。教育とは知識を詰め込むのではなく、内なる力を引き出す行為という洞察が語源に込められている。
Educating is formed from educate by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Educate entered English through Latin educare, meaning “to bring up, rear, or train,” and is historically associated with educere, “to lead out.” Its modern sense developed around systematically teaching or developing a person’s abilities, knowledge, and character.
