解説 Definition
remarking は remark（述べる、指摘する）の現在分詞・動名詞です。何かについて短く意見や観察を述べるときに使われ、commenting に近い意味を持ちます。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 remark に -ing をそのまま加えた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は remark の後半に強勢を置きます。remark on/about ～「～について短く意見・観察を述べる」が典型。単に mark「印を付ける」ではなく、気付いた点を言葉で目立たせる像を持つと、commenting との近さも理解できます。
Connect remarking with noticing a point and giving it a verbal “mark” so that others pay attention to it. It is formed regularly by adding -ing to remark, with the main stress remaining on the second syllable. Learn the patterns “remarking on the change” and “remarking that more detail was needed.” The action is usually a brief observation or comment, not a long explanation. Commenting is close in meaning, but remarking can sound slightly more deliberate or formal, especially when introducing an observation in speech or writing.

remarking の語源・成り立ち Etymology
remarking は remark に進行・動名詞の -ing が付いた形です。remark は古フランス語 remarquer に由来し、re-「再び・強く」+ mark「印を付ける」から、もとは「印を付けて目立たせる」、そこから「指摘する」へ。関連語は mark, remarkable。
Remarking is the -ing form of remark. Remark entered English through French remarquer, formed from re- and marquer, “to mark.” Its early sense involved marking something out or noticing it distinctly. From the idea of directing attention to a marked or noticeable point, the verb developed the meaning “to observe” and then “to state an observation or comment.” Mark and remarkable belong to the same word family.
