解説 Definition

granting は grant(与える、認める)の現在分詞・動名詞です。権利や許可、願いなどを正式に与えていることを表す少し硬めの語です。

The present participle or gerund of grant, referring to the formal act of giving, approving, or allowing something such as permission, access, rights, a request, or a benefit.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

原形 grant「正式に与える・認める」に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞です。発音は grant の後に /ɪŋ/ を続けます。単に物を手渡す give より、権限を持つ機関や人物が permissionaccess、rights、a request などを正式に認める場面に合います。「申請を審査して認める」という流れで覚えましょう。

Granting is formed by adding -ing directly to grant. Associate it with an authority formally approving something, rather than with the ordinary physical act of giving an object. A city may be granting permission, a manager may consider granting access, and an institution may be granting rights or additional time. Common patterns are grant someone something and grant something to someone. The form can describe an action in progress or name the act itself. Keeping permission, access, rights, and requests nearby will help distinguish grant from the much broader verb give.

学校は生徒たちにその課題のための時間を追加で与えています。

granting の語源・成り立ち Etymology

古フランス語 granter / creanter(認める・同意する)を経て、俗ラテン語 credentare(信じる)に由来。語根は ラテン語 credere(信じる)。相手を信じて認めることから「許可する・与える」の意に発展。関連語: credit, grant

Granting consists of grant and the suffix -ing. Grant entered Middle English through Old French granter or creanter, meaning “to promise, assure, consent to, or acknowledge.” These forms are connected with Medieval Latin credentare and ultimately with Latin credere, “to believe or trust.” The sense moved from acknowledging or agreeing to something toward formally allowing a request, conferring a right, or giving something through recognized authority.
