覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
resist「抵抗する・こらえる」の現在分詞・動名詞で、語形を変えずに -ing を付けます。語源上は「反対側に立つ」イメージです。resisting pressure、resisting change、resisting temptation のように、圧力・変化・誘惑に屈せず踏みとどまる組み合わせで覚えましょう。
Resisting is made by adding -ing directly to resist. Keep the image of standing firm against something pushing you: a door can be resisting a physical push, while a person can be resisting pressure or temptation. This image matches the word’s Latin history, which carries the sense of standing against. Learn common combinations such as resisting change, resisting pressure, and resisting the urge. Unlike simply disliking something, resisting involves actively refusing, opposing, or holding out against it.

resisting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 resistere に由来し、re-（反対に）+ sistere（立つ）の合成で「立ち向かって押し返す」が原義。関連語: persist（固執する）、consist（成り立つ）。sistere の語根 sta-（立つ）は多くの英単語に現れ、物理的・精神的に「踏みとどまって対抗する」意味が生まれた。
Resisting is the present-participle and gerund form of resist, made by adding -ing to the unchanged base. Resist comes from Latin resistere, formed from re- in the sense “against” and sistere, “to take a stand” or “stand firm.” Its original image is therefore standing against an opposing force. Related words such as persist also contain sistere, though their prefixes create different meanings.
