覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
instilling は instill に -ing を付けた形で、語末の l を一つ保って instilling と綴る。発音は原形の末尾 /l/ に /ɪŋ/ が続く。in-「中へ」＋「しずく」の歴史的イメージから、confidence や good habits を一度に教え込むのでなく、少しずつ心に植えつける場面を覚える。
Form instilling by adding -ing to instill: keep the spelling instill and add ing, producing instilling. Its historical image is liquid entering drop by drop, which gives a strong memory picture for ideas or habits being introduced gradually. Think of a coach instilling confidence in players or parents instilling good habits in children. The usual pattern is “instill something in someone,” though “instill someone with something” also occurs. Unlike inject, which can suggest a quick physical action, instill normally emphasizes steady influence over time when used with beliefs, values, confidence, or habits.

instilling の語源・成り立ち Etymology
instilling は instill の現在分詞で、語源はラテン語 instillare「しずくで落とし入れる」です。in-「中へ」+ stilla「しずく」なので、「少しずつ垂らす」感覚から、知識や習慣をじわじわ注ぎ込む意味になりました。関連語は distill、instillation です。
Instilling is the present-participle and gerund form of instill. Instill comes from Latin instillare, “to pour in by drops,” formed from in-, “into,” and stilla, “a drop.” The physical picture of liquid entering slowly developed into the figurative meaning of gradually placing an idea, value, feeling, or habit in a person's mind. Distill and instillation preserve related historical and word-family connections.
