表する
解説 Definition
honouring は honour（敬意を表する、約束などを守る）の現在分詞・動名詞です。ここでは人や功績、伝統などに敬意を表して大切に扱う意味で使います。
Honouring is the present participle or gerund of honour. In this sense, it describes showing respect or public appreciation for a person, achievement, tradition, or memory, often through a ceremony, tribute, or meaningful action.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
honouring は honour に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、英国式綴りでは語末の r を保って honouring となります。発音の核は honour と同じ /ˈɒnə/ で h は発音しません。honour a teacher や honour someone's achievements のように、式典や行動で人・功績への敬意を示す場面と結びつけましょう。
Honouring is formed by adding -ing to honour, the British spelling of the verb. The r remains before the suffix, and the initial h in honour is silent. Keep the core image of giving visible respect: a school honouring former teachers at a ceremony, a museum honouring an artist, or a community planting trees to honour volunteers. Useful patterns include honouring someone’s achievements, honouring a tradition, and honouring the memory of someone. Unlike merely praising someone in words, honouring often involves a formal tribute or meaningful action.

honouring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
honouring は honour に進行・動名詞の -ing が付いた形です。honour は古フランス語 honour を経て、ラテン語 honor「名誉・尊敬」にさかのぼります。『名誉を与える』感覚から敬意を表する意味になり、honorable や honorary も同根です。
Honouring is the -ing form of honour. The base word entered English through Old French honour and ultimately comes from Latin honor, meaning “honour, dignity, or esteem.” The verb developed the sense of treating someone as worthy of respect or conferring distinction upon them. In British English, honour retains the letter u; American English normally uses honor and honoring. Honourable and honorary belong to the same word family.
