覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 hydrate「水分を与える」の語末の黙字 e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞です。発音も hydrate /ˈhaɪdreɪt/ から hydrating /ˈhaɪdreɪtɪŋ/ へ変わります。hydrate the patient、hydrate dry skin、focus on hydrating の三場面で、人への補水と肌の保湿をまとめて覚えましょう。
Start with the base verb hydrate, meaning to supply water or moisture. To form hydrating, drop the final silent e and add -ing; the pronunciation expands from /ˈhaɪdreɪt/ to /ˈhaɪdreɪtɪŋ/. Connect the form with three typical patterns: a nurse is hydrating a patient, a cream is hydrating dry skin, and athletes focus on hydrating before exercise. The first two use it as a participle in an ongoing action or description, while focus on hydrating treats the action as a gerund. In every case, water or moisture is being supplied or maintained.

このクリームは乾燥した肌にうるおいを与えるのに適しています。

hydrating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
hydrating は hydrate の現在分詞で、フランス語 hydrate を経てギリシャ語 hydor「水」に由来します。hydr- が「水」、-ate が「〜にする」を表し、「水を与えて水の状態にする」ので保湿・水分補給の意味になります。関連語は dehydrate、hydraulic。
Hydrating is formed from hydrate by dropping its final silent e and adding -ing. Hydrate entered English through French scientific vocabulary and is ultimately based on Greek hydōr, meaning “water.” The element hydr- therefore appears in many water-related terms. The verb-forming ending -ate allows hydrate to mean supplying or combining with water, while -ing marks an ongoing action, a descriptive participle, or an activity treated as a noun.
