解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rallying は原形 rally に -ing を付ける際、語末の y を変えず rallying とする現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は /ˈræliɪŋ/。rallying around a project や rallying support のように、散らばった人・支持・力を共通目的へ集める場面を思い浮かべる。単に集まる gathering より、立て直しや結束の意識が強い。
Begin with the base verb rally and add -ing without changing the final y: rallying, pronounced roughly /ˈræliɪŋ/. The central picture is scattered people, support, or energy being brought together again. Useful patterns are rallying around a project, rallying support, and a team rallying after a poor start. Compared with simply gathering, rallying often implies a shared cause, renewed determination, or recovery from difficulty. The historical re- idea of “again” reinforces this memory: people who were divided, discouraged, or dispersed unite and direct their strength toward one goal.

rallying の語源・成り立ち Etymology
フランス語 rallier（再び集める）に由来し、接頭辞 re-（再び）＋ allier（結びつける）に分解できる。allier はラテン語 alligare（結ぶ）から。関連語に ally（同盟者）、alliance（同盟）がある。散り散りの仲間を再結集させるのが原義。
Rally entered English through French rallier, meaning “to bring together again” or “reunite.” The French verb combines re-, “again,” with allier, “to unite or ally.” Allier ultimately relates to Latin alligāre, “to bind to,” formed from ad- and ligāre, “to bind.” Rallying is the regular -ing form of rally; the final y is retained before -ing. The historical image is of dispersed people being called back into an organized group.
