覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
動詞 forward に -ing を付けた形で、ここでは「転送すること」という動名詞です。forward は「前方へ」から「次の宛先へ送る」意味になりました。email forwarding、forwarding address、message forwarding のまとまりで、元の受取先から別の宛先へ回す場面を覚えましょう。
Connect “forwarding” with the verb “forward” plus -ing. The core spatial idea is movement onward or ahead, which becomes the practical idea of sending something to its next recipient or destination. Picture an email arriving at one account and automatically continuing to another. Learn common combinations such as “email forwarding,” “call forwarding,” and “forwarding address.” Unlike ordinary delivery, forwarding usually implies that the item was first directed somewhere else and is then passed on.

forwarding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 foreweard（前方へ）に由来し、forward（前へ）+ -ing で「前方へ送ること」を表す。手紙や荷物を転送する意味は、次の宛先へ「前に送る」イメージから。関連語：forward（転送する）、foreword（前書き、fore+word）。
“Forwarding” is formed from “forward” and the suffix -ing. “Forward” developed from Old English foreweard, built from elements meaning “toward the front.” The verb later acquired the sense of sending a letter, package, or information onward toward another destination. Adding -ing creates a participle or, as in this entry, a gerund naming the process. It is unrelated in meaning to “foreword,” the introductory section of a book.
