覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
final「最終の」＋-ize「〜の状態にする」で finalize「最終決定する・仕上げる」となり、finalizing は語末の e を取って -ing を付けた形です。report、schedule、agreement などを確認し、もう変更不要な完成状態へ持っていく最後の作業を連想しましょう。単なる working on より完成直前の含みがあります。
Build the word in stages: final means “last,” -ize makes a verb meaning “make or bring into a state,” and -ing marks an ongoing activity or names the process. Finalize becomes finalizing by dropping its final silent e before -ing. Imagine a document or plan that is nearly complete but still needs its last checks and decisions. Common objects include a report, schedule, contract, and agreement. Finalizing is therefore more specific than merely working on something: it places the work at its closing stage.

finalizing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 finis（終わり・境界）から派生した finalis（最終の）が語源。final + ize（〜化する）+ ing の構成で「最終状態にする作業中」の意。関連語 finish（終える）や definite（明確な）も同じ finis を語根に持つ。
Finalizing is the -ing form of finalize, a verb built from final and the verb-forming suffix -ize. Final ultimately comes through Latin finalis from finis, meaning “end” or “boundary.” Finalize therefore means to make something final or complete its last decisions. Before -ing is added, the final silent e of finalize is dropped. The form can serve as a present participle or as a gerund naming the completion process.
