覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 establish にそのまま -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞。制度・組織・方法・関係などを、一時的でなく安定して機能する形にする語で、establishing trust、establishing a rule、establishing a business のまとまりで覚える。単に作る creating より「基盤を固める」含みが強い。
Establishing is simply establish plus -ing; no letter is removed or doubled. Its memory core is making something stable, recognized, or firmly based. Learn it through combinations such as establishing trust, establishing a clear rule, establishing a business, and establishing a routine. Compared with creating, establishing often suggests that the new thing is given a secure position and can continue to operate or be accepted. In a progressive verb phrase it describes work in progress, while as a gerund it names that process itself.
例文
They are establishing a new rule.
彼らは新しい規則を確立しようとしています。
The team is establishing a clear plan.
そのチームは明確な計画を確立しています。
Establishing trust takes time.
信頼を確立するには時間がかかります。

establishing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
establishing は establish に -ing が付いた形で、語源は古フランス語 establir、さらに俗ラテン語 stabilīre「安定させる」です。核にあるのは stabl-/stable「しっかり立たせる」感覚で、制度や地位を確立する意味につながります。関連語は stable, establishment。
Establishing is formed by adding -ing to establish. Establish came into English through Old French establir, ultimately from Latin stabilire, “to make firm,” based on stabilis, “stable.” Its historical core is therefore the idea of causing something to stand securely. That sense developed into founding institutions, setting rules or practices, building lasting relationships, and proving facts. The -ing form serves as either a present participle or a gerund.
