rec
録音
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rec は record または recording を短くした口語的・表示用の形で、録音ボタンの REC 表示を思い浮かべる。独立した正式語というより、機器の画面、ファイル名、制作現場のメモなどで「録音・収録」を簡潔に示す略語。文脈によって recreation などの略にもなるため、音声・映像の場面か確認する。
Think of the red REC indicator on a camera, phone, or audio recorder. In sound and video contexts, rec is a shortened form of record or recording, so it may label a button, an active recording state, a file, or a production note. It is informal and context-dependent rather than a fully precise technical term. Because rec can also abbreviate words such as recreation in other settings, first check whether the surrounding context involves audio, video, a studio, or a recording device.

rec の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recはrecording / recordの口語的短縮形。recordは古フランス語recorderを経て、ラテン語recordari「思い出す」に由来し、re-「再び」+ cor/cord-「心」から成る。心に呼び戻して残す感覚が「記録・録音」につながる。関連語はrecord, recorder。
Rec is a modern shortened form of record or recording. Record entered English through Old French recorder and ultimately comes from Latin recordari, “to remember” or “call to mind.” That Latin verb contains re-, “again,” and cor or cord-, “heart,” reflecting an older association between the heart and memory. The later senses of preserving information, sound, or images led naturally to record and recording, from which the practical abbreviation rec was formed.
