覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
guaranteeing は guarantee「保証する」の現在分詞・動名詞です。語末の黙字 e を落として -ing を付け、guaranteeing とし、/ˌɡærənˈtiːɪŋ/ のように guarantee の /iː/ と -ing を続けて発音します。guaranteeing repairs、guaranteeing equal access のように、結果・品質・権利を確実だと約束する場面で覚えます。
Connect guaranteeing directly to the base verb guarantee, meaning to promise that something will happen or meet a stated standard. To form the -ing form, drop the final silent e and add -ing: guarantee becomes guaranteeing. The long /iː/ at the end of guarantee is followed by the sound of -ing. Remember it through practical combinations such as guaranteeing repairs, guaranteeing delivery, and guaranteeing equal access. The word implies a firm assurance or responsibility, which is stronger than merely expecting, predicting, or hoping for an outcome.

guaranteeing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
guaranteeing は古フランス語 garantir に由来し、さらにゲルマン語系の warand「守る人・保証人」にさかのぼります。もとは「後ろ盾になって守る」感覚で、guarantee が「保証する」となりました。warrant や warranty も同じ系統の語です。
Guaranteeing is formed from guarantee by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Guarantee came into English through French forms related to garantir, “to protect or warrant,” and ultimately belongs to a Germanic family concerning protection and responsibility. Warrant and warranty are historically related. The modern -ing form can function either as part of a progressive verb phrase or as a gerund naming the act of giving an assurance.
