覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 rehabilitate に -ing を付ける際、語末の e を落として rehabilitating となる。re-「再び」+ habilitate「適した状態にする」と捉え、けがや病気の後に機能や生活能力を取り戻す過程を思い浮かべる。例では rehabilitating after/from an injury の形が典型的。
Start with rehabilitate, “to help someone return to health or effective functioning.” Before adding -ing, drop the final e: rehabilitate becomes rehabilitating. The parts suggest the central image: re- means “again,” while the rest historically concerns making someone fit or suitable. Picture an injured athlete repeatedly exercising to regain strength. Common patterns include rehabilitating after an injury and rehabilitating from a stroke. As a gerund, the word names this demanding recovery activity; as a participle, it describes a person who is currently going through it.

rehabilitating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rehabilitating は rehabilitate の形で、re-「再び」+ ラテン語 habilitare「適した状態にする」+ -ing です。habilitare は habilis「適した」につながり、関連語に able, ability があるので、『もう一度ふさわしい状態へ戻している』という感覚から今の意味になります。
Rehabilitating is the -ing form of rehabilitate, with the final silent e removed before the suffix is added. Rehabilitate ultimately combines re-, “again,” with Medieval Latin rehabilitare, “to restore to a former capacity or standing.” That verb is related to Latin habilis, “fit, suitable, or able.” The modern medical sense developed around restoring health, movement, independence, or useful functioning after illness or injury.
