覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 repeat に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は「リピーティング」に近く、語末の t も発音します。repeat the same word や keep repeating の形を、同じ言葉・音・動作をもう一度、または何度も行う場面と結び付けて覚えましょう。
Connect repeating directly with the base verb repeat: simply add -ing, with no letter doubled or removed. Picture someone saying the same word again and again, as in “He is repeating the question.” The phrase keep repeating emphasizes that the action continues, while repeating something can also be a useful learning method, such as practicing lines until they are remembered. Notice that repeating describes an ongoing action or the activity itself; repetition is the related noun for an instance or pattern of recurrence.
例文

repeating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 repetere（再び求める）から古フランス語経由で英語に。re-（再び）+ petere（求める、向かう）に分解できる。「繰り返し求める→何度も行う」と意味が広がった。関連語: repetition, petition（請願＝求めること）。
Repeating is formed from repeat plus the participial and gerund suffix -ing. Repeat entered English through Old French from Latin repetere, combining re-, “again,” with petere, “to seek, aim at, or go toward.” Its sense developed from seeking or returning to something again to saying or doing it another time. Repetition and repetitive belong to the same word family.
