覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 loan「貸す」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末 e がないためそのまま loaning となる。発音は /ˈloʊnɪŋ/。be loaning equipment は「貸している」、Loaning equipment requires… は「機材を貸すこと」。借りる側の borrowing と視点が逆だと覚える。
Start with the base verb loan, meaning to lend something temporarily, and add -ing without changing the spelling: loaning, pronounced /ˈloʊnɪŋ/. As a present participle, it appears after be, as in “The library is loaning tablets.” As a gerund, it names the activity, as in “Loaning equipment requires a form.” Keep the viewpoint clear: loaning or lending describes what the owner or provider does, while borrowing describes what the receiver does. Connect it with common objects such as money, equipment, books, and vehicles.

loaning の語源・成り立ち Etymology
loaning は loan に動作・過程を表す -ing が付いた語で、「貸すこと・貸し出し」という意味をそのまま作っています。loan は古ノルド語 lán「貸し与えられたもの」にさかのぼり、一時的に相手へ渡す感覚を保ったまま発達した語で、関連語に loan, loaner があります。
Loaning is the regular -ing form of the verb loan. Loan entered English as a noun meaning something lent and is related to Old Norse lán, “a loan” or “something lent.” English later developed the noun into a verb meaning to give something for temporary use. Adding -ing creates either a present participle for an action in progress or a gerund naming the activity. No letter is dropped or doubled: loan becomes loaning directly.
