procuring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
procuring は procure の現在分詞。古フランス語 procurer、さらに後期ラテン語 procurare に由来し、pro-「前へ・代わって」＋ curare「世話する」から、「手を尽くして手に入れる」つまり「調達する」という意味になった。関連語は procure, procurement。
Procuring is formed from procure by dropping its final e and adding -ing. Procure entered English through Old French procurer from Latin procurare, built from pro-, conveying “for” or “on behalf of,” and curare, “to care for or attend to.” The sense developed from managing or taking care of something to obtaining it through effort or arrangement. Procurement belongs to the same word family.
