記録管理
解説 Definition
記録の保管と管理。重要な情報や文書を体系的に整理して保存する業務。
Recordkeeping is the activity of creating, organizing, and storing records or important information. It is commonly used in business, law, medicine, and government, where accurate documents must be kept over time. The word usually refers to a system or routine for managing records properly.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず `record` が「記録」、`keep` が「保管する」と分かれば、recordkeeping は「記録を残し、きちんと保っておくこと」と自然に読める。`bookkeeping` と同じく「名詞・動詞 + keeping」で“管理業務”になる型として覚えると応用が利く。実際も tax recordkeeping, medical recordkeeping のように、あとで確認・提出・監査できるよう文書や履歴を整理保存する場面でよく使う。単なる recording が「記録する行為」寄りなのに対し、こちらは保存・整理・継続管理まで含む語だと押さえると定着しやすい。
Split it into `record` + `keeping`. Like `bookkeeping`, the pattern `noun + keeping` often means the job of organizing and maintaining something. Think of phrases like `tax recordkeeping` or `medical recordkeeping` to remember that it is more than just writing things down.

recordkeeping の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recordkeeping は recordとkeeping の複合語で、recordはラテン語 recordari「心に呼び戻す」に由来し、re-「再び」+ cor「心」から成ります。記録が「思い出すため心へ戻すこと」だと分かると腑に落ち、関連語に record と cordial があります。
Recordkeeping is an English compound of record and keeping. Record comes from Latin recordari, meaning "to call back to mind," built from re- "back" and cor "heart" or "mind." The idea is that a record is something that brings information back to the mind, and recordkeeping became the practice of preserving such records. Related English words include record and cordial.
