覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
gluing は原形 glue「接着する」の語末 e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、標準的な綴りは u を残す gluing。発音は /ˈɡluːɪŋ/ で、glue と ing の母音を続けて発音する。glue A to B や glue pieces together の形で、紙・木・ラベルを接着剤で貼る作業と結び付ける。
Begin with the verb glue, meaning to fasten things with an adhesive. To make gluing, drop the final silent e before adding -ing, but keep the u: glue becomes gluing. It is pronounced with the long vowel of glue followed by the -ing sound, /ˈɡluːɪŋ/. Picture someone applying adhesive and pressing two pieces of paper together. Useful patterns are “gluing A to B,” “gluing pieces together,” and “before gluing the wood.” The form can describe an ongoing action or name the activity itself.

gluing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語glu（鳥もち）を経て、ラテン語gluten（にかわ、接着剤）に由来する。「くっつける」という原義から接着作業全般を指す。関連語にgluten（グルテン＝粘り成分）、agglutinate（凝集する）がある。
Glue entered English through Old French glu, a sticky substance such as birdlime, ultimately from Latin gluten, meaning “glue” or a binding material. The English noun later also became a verb meaning to join with adhesive. Gluing is its -ing form, created by dropping the final e of glue before adding -ing. The related word gluten reflects the older idea of a sticky or binding substance, though its modern use is mainly biological and dietary.
