棚に整理する
解説 Definition
racking は rack（棚に載せる、棚に整理する）の現在分詞・動名詞です。物をラックや棚に並べたり整理したりする作業を指します。
Racking is the activity of placing, arranging, or storing items on racks or shelves. In this sense, it refers to an organized storage task, especially one performed in a shop, warehouse, workshop, or similar workplace.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 rack「棚に載せる」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末の ck はそのままです。bottles や new products を棚へ順序よく収める作業を思い浮かべ、racking the products と覚えましょう。racking には「棚設備」など別義もあるため、物を目的語に取る文脈では「棚に整理する作業」と判断します。
Connect racking with the noun rack, a frame or shelf used to hold things. Adding -ing gives the idea of putting items onto racks or carrying out that storage task; the spelling remains rack plus -ing. Picture staff racking new products after lunch or arranging bottles so each one is easy to find. This sense is strongly supported by an object such as products, bottles, or tools. Be aware that racking has other established meanings, including a system of storage racks, so use the surrounding workplace and shelving context to identify the intended sense.

racking の語源・成り立ち Etymology
racking は rack「棚・枠」＋ -ing で、「棚に載せること／棚設備」を表す語です。rack は中世オランダ語 rek 系の「枠組み」に由来し、物を枠に収めて整える発想から「棚に整理する」意味が出ました。関連語は rack, rackmount。
Racking is formed from rack and the suffix -ing. Rack has long referred to a frame or structure on which objects are placed, arranged, dried, or stored, and it is historically connected with Germanic and Dutch words for a framework or support. From the noun came the verb meaning “to place on a rack.” In the present sense, racking names the action or process of arranging items on shelving.
