覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず frequent を「頻繁な」、frequency を「頻度」でセットにすると覚えやすいです。核はどれも「回数が多い」。そこから frequent を動詞で使うと「頻繁に行く・通う」と発想できます。frequenting はその ing 形で、「その店や場所にしょっちゅう通っている最中／習慣」の感じ。人を目的語にしにくく、the cafe, the bar, the library など場所と結びつきやすい点も記憶フックになります。
Remember the family: `frequent`, `frequency`, and `frequently` all carry the idea of “many times.” When `frequent` becomes a verb, it means going to a place again and again. `Frequenting` is easy to remember if you picture someone always visiting the same cafe, bar, or library. It is usually linked with places, not people.

frequenting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
frequenting はラテン語 frequentare「何度も訪れる」にさかのぼり、その元の frequens は「人が群がる・込み合う」です。『人が集まる場所へ繰り返し行く』感覚が今の意味につながり、frequent や frequency にも同じ反復の核があります。
Frequenting comes from frequent, from Latin frequentare, meaning "to visit often" or "repeat often." That verb came from frequens, which described something crowded or full of people. The idea shifted from a place where many people gather to the habit of going there again and again, and the same root appears in frequency.
