recommending の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recommendの進行形で、語源は中世ラテン語recommendare。re-「強めて」＋commendare「託す・称賛する」から成り、『安心して任せられると人に勧める』感覚が「推奨する」につながる。関連語はcommend, command。
Recommending is formed regularly from recommend plus the participial suffix -ing. Recommend entered English through Medieval Latin recommendare, built from re-, used as an intensifier, and commendare, “to entrust or commend.” The historical sense involved commending someone or something to another person’s care or favorable attention. In modern English, recommend means presenting an option as worthy, suitable, or advisable; recommending expresses that action as ongoing or treats it as an activity.
