覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
fare「うまく／まずくやっていく」に -ing をそのまま加えた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は /ˈferɪŋ/。how someone is faring、faring well/better/poorly の形が典型。「旅を進む」という古い感覚から、生活・仕事・成績などがどのように進んでいるかを表すと覚える。
Faring is made by adding -ing directly to fare after dropping the final silent e: fare becomes faring. The verb historically relates to traveling or proceeding, so imagine someone moving through a course of events. Modern English commonly asks how someone or something is faring and answers with faring well, faring badly, or faring better. It describes progress or condition rather than a ticket price, even though fare can also be a noun meaning transportation cost. Use the surrounding adverb and the idea of “getting along” to identify this sense.

faring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 faran（旅をする、進む）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *faraną に遡る。原義は「旅の進み具合」で、そこから「暮らし向き、状態」の意味に発展した。関連語：fare（運賃・やっていく）、farewell（別れの挨拶＝良い旅を）。
Faring is the -ing form of the verb fare. Fare comes from Old English faran, “to go, travel, or proceed,” and ultimately from a Germanic verb of movement. From the idea of progressing on a journey, the verb developed the broader meaning of getting along or experiencing a particular condition. The same historical sense survives in farewell, originally an instruction or wish to “fare well.”
