入手
解説 Definition
obtaining は obtain（入手する、得る）の動名詞・現在分詞です。許可、情報、資料、物などを努力や手続きを通して手に入れることを表します。
Obtaining is the -ing form of obtain and means acquiring, securing, or gaining something, often through effort, a request, or an established procedure. It can function as a participle in a verb phrase or as a gerund naming the activity.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 obtain /əbˈteɪn/ に -ing をそのまま加えて obtaining /əbˈteɪnɪŋ/ とし、語尾に /ɪŋ/ が加わります。子音を重ねたり e を落としたりしません。obtain permission、documents、accurate data のように、努力・申請・手続きを経て必要な物や情報を「入手する」場面で覚えます。
Begin with obtain, meaning to get or secure something. Add -ing directly: obtain becomes obtaining, without doubling a consonant or dropping a final e. The pronunciation changes from /əbˈteɪn/ to /əbˈteɪnɪŋ/ by adding the /ɪŋ/ ending. Associate it with things that commonly require effort or a procedure: obtaining permission, obtaining documents, obtaining a ticket, and obtaining accurate data. Compared with simply getting something, obtaining often sounds more formal and can suggest deliberate action, an application, or official steps.
例文

チケットを入手するのは簡単ではありませんでした。
She is obtaining the documents from the office.
彼女は事務所から書類を入手しているところです。
The team focused on obtaining accurate data.
チームは正確なデータを得ることに集中しました。

obtaining の語源・成り立ち Etymology
obtaining は obtain（得る）+ -ing。obtain は古フランス語を経てラテン語 obtinere にさかのぼり、ob-「…へ」+ tenere「つかむ・保つ」から成る。もとは「しっかりつかんで自分のものにする」感覚で、retain や tenable も同じ語根。
Obtaining consists of obtain and the suffix -ing. Obtain entered English through Old French from Latin obtinere, formed from ob-, conveying direction or opposition, and tenere, “to hold.” Its historical senses involved holding, maintaining, or gaining possession. The same Latin root tenere appears in words such as retain and tenable. In modern English, obtaining describes the process of successfully getting or securing something, especially through effort or procedure.
