覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 relay に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、y は i に変えず relaying となります。発音では動詞 relay の後半に強勢があり、「リレイイング」に近い流れです。relay a message/signal/broadcast の形で、人・装置・放送局が情報を次の相手へ受け渡す場面を思い浮かべます。
Link relaying with a relay race, where one runner passes something to the next. In communication, what gets passed onward is a message, signal, or broadcast. Add -ing directly to relay; the y remains because it follows a vowel, so the spelling is relaying, not “relaing” or “relying.” The verb is stressed on its second syllable. Typical combinations include “relaying messages,” “relaying signals,” and “relaying a live broadcast.” Unlike simply sending, relaying often implies an intermediate person, station, or device between the original source and the final recipient.
例文
The station is relaying the live broadcast.
その放送局は生中継を行っています。
She is relaying messages between the two teams.
彼女は二つのチームの間で伝言を取り次いでいます。
The device was relaying signals to the control room.
その装置は制御室へ信号を中継していました。

relaying の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Relayは古フランス語relai（交代の猟犬・馬）に由来し、re-（再び）+laier（置く、残す）が語源。狩猟で疲れた犬を新しい犬に交代させることから「中継・リレー」の意味に発展した。関連語：relay（リレー）、delay（遅延）。
Relaying is the -ing form of relay. Relay came through French relais, associated with replacement horses or hunting dogs stationed along a route. The underlying idea was that one fresh animal took over from another. English extended this image to relay races and then to messages, broadcasts, and electrical signals passed through intermediate people or devices. The final y remains when -ing is added.
