覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
judging は judge「判断する・審査する」の現在分詞・動名詞です。語末の e を取って -ing を付け、judge → judging となりますが、judge の /dʒ/ の音は保たれ、/ˈdʒʌdʒɪŋ/ と発音します。judge a contest「大会を審査する」と judge by the results「結果で判断する」を場面ごと覚えましょう。
Build judging from judge by removing the final e and adding -ing. The spelling changes, but the final /dʒ/ sound of judge remains: /ˈdʒʌdʒɪŋ/. Connect the form with two typical situations. A competition official may be judging photos according to set standards, while an ordinary person may be judging an idea by its results. In “She is judging,” it is part of a continuing verb phrase; in “Judging each answer takes time,” it names the activity. The core idea is reaching an evaluation after examining something.
例文
She is judging the best photo in the contest.
彼女はコンテストで一番よい写真を判断しています。
I am judging his idea by the results.
私は結果を見て彼の考えを判断しています。
The teacher spent time judging each answer carefully.
先生はそれぞれの答えを慎重に判断するのに時間をかけました。

judging の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 judicare（裁く）が語源で、jus（法・権利）＋ dicare（宣言する）に分解できる。「法に基づいて宣言する」が原義。同根語に judge（裁判官）や judicial（司法の）がある。法的な判断から日常的な判断へと意味が広がった。
Judging is the -ing form of judge, a word that entered English through Old French from Latin iūdicāre, “to judge.” The Latin verb is connected with iūs, meaning “law or right,” and dicere, meaning “to say or declare.” Its earliest associations were legal: declaring a decision under law. English later extended judge beyond courts to everyday evaluation, including assessing contest entries, ideas, conduct, and answers.
