覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 flavor に -ing を加えた形で、名詞では「風味を加える材料」を指す。vanilla flavoring、natural／artificial flavoring、add flavoring to のまとまりで覚える。flavor は味と香りを合わせた風味、flavoring はそれを加える香料・材料。seasoning は塩や香辛料による味付けを広く指す点が違う。
Begin with flavor, the combined impression of taste and smell, and add -ing. As a noun, flavoring usually means the material that supplies or strengthens that flavor, not merely the action of adding it. Picture vanilla flavoring going into cake batter, or read label phrases such as “natural flavoring” and “artificial flavoring.” Compare it with seasoning: seasoning often refers broadly to salt, herbs, or spices used to improve savory food, while flavoring can include extracts and aromatic substances used in either sweet or savory products. The phrase “add flavoring to” is a useful pattern.

flavoring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語flaor（香り）→ラテン語flator（吹くもの）に由来し、「息吹・香気」が原義。flavor＋-ing（動名詞・名詞化）の構成。関連語：flavor（風味）、fragrance（芳香）。風が香りを運ぶイメージから「味や香りをつける」意味に発展した。
Flavoring is formed from flavor plus the noun-forming or participial suffix -ing. Flavor entered English through an Anglo-French form related to Old French flaor or flaur, meaning an odor or scent, ultimately associated with Latin flātor, “a blower,” from flāre, “to blow.” The word’s meaning expanded from smell to the combined sensory quality of taste and aroma. Flavoring then developed as a term for the act of adding flavor and, especially, for a substance used to do so.
