覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
recruiting は recruit に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、綴りは recruit → recruiting、発音は /rɪˈkruː.tɪŋ/ です。recruit staff「職員を募集する」、recruit members「会員を募る」のように、組織へ新しい人を加えて人数を補う場面と結び付けて覚えます。
Recruiting comes from recruit plus -ing, with no spelling change: recruit → recruiting, pronounced /rɪˈkruː.tɪŋ/. Think of an organization trying to add people to its numbers. A store may be recruiting staff, a company may be recruiting engineers, and a club may be recruiting new members. The word covers the process of attracting or seeking suitable people and may include selection. In a continuous verb phrase, The company is recruiting emphasizes current activity; as a gerund, Recruiting takes time names the activity itself. Hiring is narrower because it focuses on giving someone a job.

recruiting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
recruiting は recruit「補充する・採用する」の -ing 形で、recruit はフランス語 recruter を経て、ラテン語 recrescere「再び成長する」に由来します。re-「再び」＋ crescere「成長する」なので、「人数をまた増やす」感覚があり、increase や crescent が近縁です。
Recruit came into English through French recruter. Its history is associated with restoring or increasing a group’s strength by adding new people, especially soldiers. The deeper formation is linked to a Romance descendant of Latin recrescere, “to grow again,” combining re-, “again,” with crescere, “to grow.” Recruiting is the regular -ing form and preserves the idea of increasing an organization’s numbers.
