覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 prove の語末の発音しない e を取って -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、proveing ではなく proving。prove an idea with data、prove that ... の形で「証拠によって正しさを示す」と覚える。単なる主張ではなく、検査・データ・論理で確かめる点が核。進行形だけでなく spend time proving ... にも使う。
Form proving by removing the silent final e from prove before adding -ing: prove becomes proving, not proveing. Keep the core idea of establishing truth through evidence. Someone proving an idea with data is doing more than stating an opinion; the data support the claim. Useful patterns include be proving that something works, spend time proving an answer, and prove a claim with evidence. The word can describe an action in progress or name the activity itself. Link it with proof, the evidence or reasoning that makes a conclusion convincing.

その試験は機械が動くことを証明しています。

proving の語源・成り立ち Etymology
proving は prove に進行・動名詞の -ing が付いた形で、prove は古フランス語 prover、さらにラテン語 probare「試す・正しいと認める」に由来します。まず「試して確かめる」ことから「証明する」へ発展し、関連語に proof、approve があります。
Proving is formed from prove by dropping the final e and adding -ing. Prove came through Old French prover from Latin probare, meaning “to test,” “to examine,” or “to approve as good.” The semantic path runs from testing something to establishing that it is genuine or true. Proof and approve belong to the same broader word family. The -ing form allows the verb to describe an ongoing action or function as a gerund.
