覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 receive「受け取る、受信する」の語末の黙字 e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞です。receive a message/signal/email「メッセージ・信号・メールを受け取る」を軸に、送り手側の sending と受け手側の receiving を対で覚えると、通信での「受信中」が定着します。
Start with receive, meaning “get something that is sent or given.” To form receiving, drop the final silent e and add -ing. Imagine a communication path with sending on one side and receiving on the other: a phone receives a message, a radio receives a signal, and a person receives an email. Learn these common objects together—receiving messages, receiving signals, and receiving emails. The form can describe an action happening now or the general process of accepting incoming information or items.

My phone is receiving a message.
私の電話がメッセージを受信しています。
The radio is receiving a clear signal.
そのラジオははっきりした信号を受信しています。
She is receiving emails from the school.
彼女は学校からメールを受け取っています。

receiving の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 recipere（取り戻す）に由来。re-（再び・後ろへ）+ capere（つかむ）の合成語。「投げられたものを受け取る」イメージが原義。関連語: receipt（受領書）、receptor（受容体）。capereは capture（捕獲）の語根でもある。
Receiving is the -ing form of receive, created by dropping the final silent e before adding -ing. Receive came through Old French from Latin recipere, meaning “take back” or “take in.” Recipere combines re-, carrying a sense such as “back,” with capere, “take” or “seize.” This history supports the modern idea of taking in something that comes from another source, including a physical object or an electronic signal.
