refunding
返金中
解説 Definition
refunding は refund（返金する）の動名詞・現在分詞です。店や会社などが代金を払い戻していること、または返金手続きを行うことを表します。
The act or process of paying money back to a customer or other payer, especially after a purchase, service, or event is canceled or found unsatisfactory. It can also describe the ongoing action of making such repayments.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 refund に -ing をそのまま加えた形で、語末のつづりは変わらず、発音も refund の後に /ɪŋ/ が続きます。店や会社が refund a customer「顧客に返金する」、refund the full price「全額返金する」という場面を思い浮かべ、返金の処理中・行為そのものを表す形として覚えましょう。
Refunding is formed by adding -ing directly to the verb refund, with no spelling change; its ending is pronounced /ɪŋ/. Connect it with practical phrases such as refunding a customer, refunding a fee, and refunding the full price. Picture a shop or company processing payments back to the people who originally paid. This makes it easy to remember that refunding can name the repayment process as a gerund or show that the action is currently in progress as a present participle.
例文
The shop is refunding the full price today.
その店は今日、全額を返金しています。
The company started refunding customers after the event was canceled.
イベントが中止された後、会社は顧客への返金を始めました。
Refunding the fee may take three business days.
その料金の返金には3営業日かかる場合があります。

refunding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
refunding は refund からで、ラテン語 re-「元へ」+ fundere「注ぐ」に由来します。もとは『注ぎ戻す』という感覚で、そこからお金を元の持ち主へ返す、つまり返金する意味になりました。関連語に diffuse、transfuse があります。
Refunding is the -ing form of refund. Refund ultimately combines re-, expressing movement back, with a root related to Latin fundere, “to pour.” The historical image is of something being poured or given back, which developed into the financial sense of returning money to its payer. The spelling of refund remains unchanged when -ing is added.
