覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
home + brewing と切ると覚えやすい語。まず brew は coffee を brew するのように「飲み物を仕込む・いれる」の核を持つので、homebrew で「家で仕込む」が自然に見える。-ing が付いて行為全体を表すので、homebrewing は「自宅で酒を醸すこと」。特に beer と結びつきやすく、homebrewing beer の場面を思い浮かべると定着しやすい。名詞の homebrew は「自家製ビール」や比喩的に「自作のもの」にもなるので、行為の homebrewing と区別すると混同しにくい。
Split it into `home + brewing`. If `brew` means preparing a drink, then `homebrew` naturally suggests making it at home. The `-ing` form turns it into the activity itself, and it is especially easy to remember with beer.

homebrewing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
homebrewing は Old English 由来の home「家」+ brew「醸す」+ -ing から成り、文字通り「家で醸すこと」。brewer や brewery も同じ brew を持ち、酒造りが場所より行為の感覚から名づけられた語だと見えてきます。
Homebrewing is built from home, brew, and the ending -ing. Both home and brew come from Old English, and brew originally meant preparing drink by steeping or boiling. The word developed in a very direct way to mean the activity of making alcohol at home; related words include brewer and brewery.
