imparting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 impartīre(分け与える)から。im-(中へ)+ partīre(分ける、pars「部分」から)で「一部を分けて渡す」が原義。知識や情報を他者に伝えるというニュアンスは、自分の持つものの一部を共有する発想から。関連語: part(部分)、partition(仕切り)。
Imparting is the -ing form of impart. Impart entered English through forms related to Latin impartire, “to share or give a part,” built from in- and partire, “to divide or share,” itself connected with pars, “part.” The literal notion of giving someone a share developed into the modern sense of communicating knowledge, information, skills, or qualities. Related English formations include part and partition.
