解説 Definition

parting は part(別れる、離れる)の動名詞・現在分詞で、名詞としては別れという意味です。人との別れや、別れる瞬間の言葉・場面について使われます。

A parting is the moment or act of leaving someone and going separate ways, often with an emotional sense of farewell. The word also modifies things associated with that moment, as in “parting words.”

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

part「分かれる・離れる」に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、動詞では「別れつつある」、名詞では「別れ・別れる瞬間」。part の末尾を重ねず parting と綴る。a quiet parting、at parting、parting words のように、別れの場面や最後の言葉と組み合わせて覚えると departure との違いがつかみやすい。

Connect parting with the verb part, meaning to separate or go away from one another. Add -ing directly, without doubling the final consonant: part becomes parting. As a noun, it focuses on the act or emotional moment of saying goodbye, not merely on transportation or departure. Picture “a quiet parting,” “the moment of parting,” and “parting words.” These common combinations make the meaning memorable and show why the word often carries more personal feeling than the broader noun departure.

例文

別れの瞬間、彼女は彼にほほえみました。

His parting words stayed with me for years.

彼の別れ際の言葉は、何年も私の心に残りました。

parting の語源・成り立ち Etymology

古英語 partan(分ける)から。ラテン語 partire(分割する)に由来し、語根 pars(部分)を持つ。関連語: part(部分)、partition(仕切り)。「全体をpartに分ける行為」が別れの意味になった。

Parting is formed from part plus -ing. The verb part developed in Middle English under the influence of Old French partir, meaning “to divide” or “go away,” ultimately from Latin partire or partiri, “to divide or share.” These forms are related to Latin pars, “part.” The idea of people separating into different parts or directions naturally produced the modern sense of leaving one another.
