覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
guide「案内する、導く」の語末の e を落として -ing を付けた形が guiding です。発音は /ˈɡaɪdɪŋ/。be guiding someone to a place なら目的地への案内、guide students through a project なら過程を支えることを表します。「方向や進め方を示し続けている」場面と結び付けましょう。
Connect guiding with its base verb guide. When -ing is added, the final silent e is dropped: guide becomes guiding, pronounced /ˈɡaɪdɪŋ/. Picture someone actively showing a route or helping others move through a process. In “guiding us to the station,” the destination follows to. In “guiding students through the project,” through emphasizes support across several stages. Guiding suggests providing direction while the other person moves or acts; it does not necessarily mean controlling every action. This makes it useful for both physical navigation and supportive instruction.

guiding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
guiding は guide に動作を表す -ing が付いた形。guide は古フランス語 guider を経て、ゲルマン系の「道を示す・案内する」にさかのぼる。『進む方向を見せる』感覚から導く意になり、guidance や misguide も同系。
Guiding is formed from guide by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Guide entered English through French guider, a verb meaning to lead or show the way, and is generally traced to a Germanic source associated with knowing or showing a course. Its central idea of indicating a direction later extended from travel to advice, teaching, and decision-making. Guidance and misguide belong to the same modern word family.
