解説 Definition
recognizing は recognize（認識する、見分ける）の現在分詞・動名詞です。人や物を見て分かる場合や、問題・重要性などを理解して認める場合に使われます。
The present participle or gerund of recognize, referring to identifying someone or something from previous knowledge, or becoming aware of and accepting the existence, importance, or truth of something.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 recognize の語末の e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、recognizing となります。re-「再び」と「知る」の歴史的なつながりから、「見て以前の知識と結び付ける」と覚えましょう。recognizing faces は「顔を見分ける」、recognizing a problem は「問題の存在を認識して認める」で、単なる noticing より理解・同定を含みます。
Recognizing is formed from recognize by dropping the final silent e before adding -ing. Link re- with the historical idea of knowing again: when you recognize a face, present information connects with something already known. The same mental connection extends to abstract matters, as in recognizing a problem or recognizing a risk, where you perceive and acknowledge that it exists. Learn both common patterns: be good at recognizing faces and recognizing the importance of something. Unlike merely noticing, recognizing often includes identification, understanding, or acceptance based on knowledge.
例文

問題を認識することが最初の一歩でした。

recognizing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 recognoscere（re-「再び」+ cognoscere「知る」）が語源。「もう一度知る→見覚えがある→認識する」と意味が発展した。cognoscere からは cognition（認知）や incognito（お忍びの）も派生しており、「知る」が核の語根である。
Recognize ultimately comes from Latin recognoscere, built from re-, “again,” and cognoscere, “to get to know or learn.” It passed into English through French and developed senses including identifying something previously known and formally acknowledging a fact. Recognizing is its present-participle and gerund form, made by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Cognition and incognito share historical material connected with knowing.
