解説 Definition
replenishing は replenish（補充する、再び満たす）の現在分詞・動名詞です。使った物資、水分、在庫、エネルギーなどを再び十分な状態にすることを表します。
Replenishing means restoring a supply by adding enough of something to replace what has been used or lost. It commonly describes filling shelves, replacing emergency supplies, restoring bodily fluids, or renewing energy and other resources.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 replenish「補充する」にそのまま -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、綴りは replenish＋ing、発音は /rɪˈplenɪʃɪŋ/ です。plen- を plenty「豊富」と結び付け、「減ったものを再び十分に満たす」と捉えます。replenishing shelves、fluids、supplies のように、在庫・水分・物資を目的語に取る場面で覚えましょう。
Begin with replenish, meaning “fill or supply again.” Its final sound is /ʃ/, and the -ing form is made simply by adding -ing, without dropping or doubling a letter: replenish becomes replenishing, pronounced /rɪˈplenɪʃɪŋ/. Connect the plen element with plenty and replete, words associated with fullness. Imagine store workers replenishing shelves after products have been sold, or water replenishing fluids lost during exercise. Unlike merely adding something, replenishing implies replacing what was used so that the supply returns toward an adequate or full level.

replenishing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
replenishing は replenish の現在分詞で、語源はアングロ・フランス語 replenir、さらにラテン語 plenus「満ちた」です。re-「再び」+ plen-「満ちる」で、『もう一度いっぱいにする』から『補充する』へつながります。関連語は plenty、replete。
Replenishing is the present participle and gerund of replenish. Replenish entered English through Anglo-French replenir and ultimately belongs to the word family of Latin plenus, “full.” Historically, its formation conveys filling something again or making it full. The same idea of fullness appears in related English words such as plenty and replete. The suffix -ing marks the ongoing action or process.
