覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 recite「声に出して読む、暗唱する」の語末の黙字 e を落として -ing を付けた形で、/rɪˈsaɪtɪŋ/ と発音します。reading が黙読も含むのに対し、reciting は詩・文章・せりふなどを声に出し、ときに記憶から述べる行為。reciting a poem を典型場面にしましょう。
Reciting is formed from recite by dropping the final silent e before adding -ing, and it is pronounced /rɪˈsaɪtɪŋ/. Connect it with a classroom or stage scene in which someone says a poem or passage aloud, sometimes from memory. Reading can be silent and may involve unfamiliar text, but reciting emphasizes spoken delivery of prepared or memorized words. Useful patterns include “reciting a poem,” “her reciting of the passage,” and “practice reciting.” The link with cite can also help: both historically involve calling forth or presenting words, though their modern meanings are different.

reciting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語のrecitareに由来します（re-＝再び＋citare＝呼び起こす）。「知識や言葉を再び呼び起こす」様子から、声に出して読み上げる意味に派生しました。同じ語根の単語にcite（引用する）やexcite（興奮させる）があります。
Reciting is the -ing form of recite. Recite came through French from Latin recitare, meaning “to read aloud, repeat, or recount.” The Latin verb combines re-, which can express repetition, with citare, “to call, summon, or set in motion.” English drops the silent final e of recite before adding -ing. The historical idea of calling words forth again fits both reading a text aloud and delivering something previously memorized.
