覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 escort に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末はそのまま escorting、発音は /ɪˈskɔːrtɪŋ/。単なる同行よりも、目的地へ案内する、または安全確保のため付き添う含みがある。escort a visitor to a room の型で覚える。
Start with the base verb escort, meaning to accompany and guide someone, often for courtesy or safety. Add -ing without changing the spelling of escort: escorting. The form can describe an action in progress, as in “A guard is escorting the visitor,” or function as a noun-like gerund, as in “Escorting guests is part of her job.” Link it with the pattern escort someone to or through a place. Unlike simply walking with someone, escorting often suggests guidance, responsibility, protection, or official supervision.

escorting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
escorting は escort＋-ing。escort はフランス語 escorte を経てイタリア語 scorta、さらに俗ラテン語系の「導き守る」語にさかのぼります。-ing が動作を表し、『付き添って守り導くこと』からエスコートの意味になります。関連語は escort, unescorted。
Escorting is formed regularly from escort plus the participial suffix -ing. Escort entered English through French escorte and is related to Italian scorta, referring to a guard, guide, or accompanying party. Its earlier history is associated with guiding or conducting someone safely. In modern English, -ing marks either an ongoing action or an activity treated as a noun, without changing the core meaning of escort.
