覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 lodging「宿泊場所」に複数の -s を付けた lodgings で、旅行者や学生が一時的に泊まる部屋や宿舎をまとめて指します。語尾は /z/ と発音します。find lodgings「宿を見つける」、affordable lodgings「手頃な宿泊先」の組み合わせで覚え、永住する home より一時的な滞在場所という感覚を保ちましょう。
Lodgings is the plural of lodging, with the final s pronounced /z/. Connect it with lodge, meaning to stay somewhere temporarily or to provide a place to stay. Imagine hikers looking for simple lodgings near a trail or students applying for lodgings through a university. The plural form often refers collectively to temporary rooms or accommodation, not necessarily several separate buildings. Useful combinations include find lodgings, arrange lodgings, affordable lodgings, and student lodgings. Unlike home, lodgings usually suggests a place occupied for a limited period while traveling, studying, or working.

lodgings の語源・成り立ち Etymology
lodgings は lodge に -ing(s) が付いた語で、宿泊する場所を表します。lodge は古フランス語 loge「小屋」に由来し、dislodge も同系。もとは「身を寄せる小さな囲い」の感覚で、そこから宿舎・下宿の意味になりました。
Lodgings developed from lodging, a verbal noun based on lodge, with plural -s. Lodge entered English through Old French loge, referring to a shelter, hut, or enclosed space. The term later came to denote a place where someone stays temporarily, and lodging acquired the sense of accommodation. The plural lodgings became especially common for rooms or quarters occupied away from one's permanent home. Dislodge belongs to the same word family.
