覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
hammering は原形 hammer に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は /ˈhæmərɪŋ/。hammer a nail into a board「板に釘を打ち込む」や hammer metal flat「金属を叩いて平らにする」のように、道具で繰り返し強く叩く場面を思い浮かべましょう。
Build hammering directly from the base verb hammer plus -ing; no letter is dropped or doubled. It is pronounced /ˈhæmərɪŋ/. Remember the word through a concrete workshop scene: someone is hammering a nail into a board, hammering a metal sheet flat, or hammering wooden frames together. The repeated blows are central to the image. This distinguishes hammering from the broader hitting, which does not specify the tool, and from pounding, which emphasizes repeated heavy blows but may involve a fist or another object.

hammering の語源・成り立ち Etymology
hammering は hammer に動作を表す -ing が付いた語で、古英語 hamor、さらにゲルマン祖語 *hamaraz に由来します。もとは“石の頭をもつ打撃道具”の発想とされ、だから hammering は一度でなく連続して強く叩く感じを帯びます。関連語は hammer, hammerhead。
Hammering is formed from hammer and the action-forming ending -ing. Hammer comes from Old English hamor and is related to other Germanic words for the striking tool; it is commonly traced to Proto-Germanic *hamaraz. The verb developed from the noun and literally means to strike with a hammer. Its present-participle form often suggests an ongoing series of forceful blows rather than a single strike.
