覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
reside「居住する」の現在分詞・動名詞で、語末の発音しない e を落として -ing を付けます。reside より会話的な live と違い、residing in Kyoto や currently residing at のような、公的書類や改まった説明での「一定の場所に住んでいる」と結び付けましょう。
Residing comes from reside by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Link it to residence and resident: all three concern the place where someone lives. Unlike the everyday verb living, residing often sounds formal and appears in applications, official records, or careful descriptions. Remember phrases such as currently residing in Kyoto and people residing near the university. The underlying picture is of someone settling and remaining in a place, which helps distinguish it from merely visiting or staying briefly.
例文

The form asks where you are residing now.
その用紙では現在どこに住んでいるかを尋ねています。
Several researchers are residing near the university.
数人の研究者が大学の近くに住んでいます。

residing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
residing は reside の現在分詞で、ラテン語 residere「座ってとどまる」に由来します。re-「後ろに・再び」+ sedere「座る」なので、もとは「腰を落ち着ける」イメージです。そこから「住む、居住している」の意味になりました。関連語は residence, resident。
Residing is formed from reside by dropping its final silent e before adding -ing. Reside comes through French from Latin residere, “to remain seated” or “stay behind,” combining re- with sedere, “to sit.” The idea of sitting or remaining in one place developed into the formal sense “to live or have one’s home somewhere.” Residence and resident share the same source.
