覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 relocate の語末 e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞です。re-「改めて・別へ」＋ locate「場所を定める」から「場所を定め直す」と捉えます。会社なら relocate to a larger office、人なら relocate for a job の形で覚えましょう。
Relocating is made from relocate by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Break the base word into re- and locate: the central idea is assigning a new location. A company can be relocating to a larger office, a worker can be relocating for a new job, and managers can discuss relocating a warehouse. Notice that the subject may move itself, while a person may also relocate an object or facility. Linking the form with both changing place and an action in progress makes its use in continuous tenses and as a gerund easy to remember.
例文

その会社はより広いオフィスへ移転中です。
She is relocating for her new job.
彼女は新しい仕事のために引っ越す予定です。
Relocating the warehouse will take several months.

relocating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
relocating は re-『再び・別の場所へ』+ locate『位置づける』+ -ing です。locate はラテン語 locus『場所』に由来し、location や local と同根なので、『場所を定め直す』から『移転する』の意味になるとつながります。
Relocate combines re-, here expressing a new or changed placement, with locate, and relocating adds the participial ending -ing after the final e is removed. Locate was formed from Latin locatus, the past participle of locare, “to place,” which derives from locus, “place.” Local and location belong to the same word family. The structure therefore presents relocation as placing someone or something in a different location.
