覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
popping は pop「ポンとはじける」の現在分詞・動名詞です。短母音＋子音で終わるため最後の p を重ねて -ing を付け、pop → popping となります。popcorn is popping、balloons popping、bubbles popping のように、小さな破裂音を伴う連続した場面と結び付けましょう。
Begin with pop, a verb suggesting a short, sharp sound or a sudden small burst. Because it has one syllable and ends in a single consonant after a short vowel, double the final p before adding -ing: pop becomes popping. Use the form in progressive expressions such as the popcorn is popping and as a participle in balloons popping outside. The repeated p letters can visually reinforce the repeated little bursts made by corn, bubbles, or balloons, without inventing a separate meaning.
例文

I heard balloons popping outside.
外で風船がはじける音が聞こえました。

popping の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語poppen（急に動く・音を立てる）に由来し、擬音語が起源。破裂音を模倣した言葉で、ゲルマン語系に広く見られる。「急に現れる」「弾ける」など瞬間的動作を表す。関連語：pop（破裂音）、popup（突然現れるもの）。
Pop is an imitative word whose sound suggests a short, sudden burst or impact. English forms related to this sound are recorded from the late Middle English period, including verbs describing abrupt movement or sharp noise. Its meanings expanded to include bursting, appearing suddenly, and moving quickly. Popping is formed regularly in pronunciation but doubles the final consonant in spelling before the suffix -ing.
