覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 request に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、綴りは requesting、発音は /rɪˈkwestɪŋ/ です。be requesting a refund なら進行中の依頼・要求、for requesting access なら「申請するため」の動名詞。ask より形式的で、request a refund や request access と目的語を直接続けます。
Requesting is formed by adding -ing directly to request, with no spelling change: request becomes requesting, pronounced /rɪˈkwestɪŋ/. In is requesting a refund, it is the participle in a progressive verb phrase and shows an action in progress. In a form for requesting access, it behaves as a gerund and names the activity. Request is generally more formal than ask and often takes the thing wanted directly as its object: request more time, request access, or request a refund.

requesting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
request は古フランス語 requeste を経て、ラテン語 requaerere（re-「再び」+ quaerere「求める・尋ねる」）にさかのぼります。requesting はその進行形で、「何かを求めて問いかけ続ける」感じが元です。関連語は inquire、quest。
Request entered English through Old French requeste and is historically connected with Latin requirere, “to seek, ask, or inquire.” That Latin verb combines re- with quaerere, “to seek or ask.” The modern form requesting is created regularly by adding the participial suffix -ing to request, without removing or doubling any letters. Related words such as require, inquire, and quest reflect the broader historical idea of seeking or asking.
