owning
所有している
解説 Definition
owning は own（所有する）の現在分詞・動名詞です。物や家、会社などを持っていることを表し、単なる一時的な使用ではなく所有関係を示します。
The present participle or gerund of “own,” referring to having something as one’s property rather than merely borrowing or using it. It can form part of a continuous verb phrase or function as a noun-like expression, as in “Owning a car is expensive.”
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 own に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末 e を落とす型ではなく、そのまま owning です。own は「一時的に使う」ではなく「法的・実質的に自分のものとして持つ」こと。Owning a car can be expensive のように文頭で主語となる動名詞用法や、owning a shop の組み合わせで覚えましょう。
Connect “owning” directly to the base verb “own,” meaning to possess something as your property. Form it by adding “-ing” without removing or doubling any letter: “own” becomes “owning.” Contrast ownership with temporary use: you may drive a rented car, but you do not own it. In “Owning a car can be expensive,” the whole “-ing” phrase acts as the subject, so this is a gerund use. It can also appear in a participial verb form. Learn practical combinations such as “owning a home,” “owning a business,” and “owning several devices.”

owning の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 āgnian（所有する）から。āgen（自分自身の）が語源で、ゲルマン祖語 *aiganą に遡る。own（自分の）と同根。「自分のものである」が原義で、所有・支配の意味に発展した。関連語: owner, ownership。
“Owning” is formed from “own” plus the participial ending “-ing.” The verb “own” developed from Old English forms related to “āgen,” meaning one’s own, and “āgnian,” meaning to possess. These belong to an old Germanic word family expressing possession or something belonging to oneself. The modern verb retains that central idea: an owner has something as property. “Owner” names the person who possesses it, while “ownership” names the condition or legal right of possessing it.
