覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 resonate の語末の e を落として -ing を付けた形です。re-「再び」+ラテン語 sonare「鳴る」という成り立ちから、音が返って響き続ける像を持ちましょう。物理的には a string is resonating、比喩的には a message is resonating with voters のように、resonate with ...「~の心に響く」が重要です。
Form resonating from resonate by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Connect it with sonic and sound: a bell or guitar string keeps vibrating, so its sound travels and lingers. For the figurative sense, imagine a message producing a similar “vibration” in people’s feelings or experience. The key pattern is resonate with someone: Her message is resonating with young voters. This differs from agreeing, because an idea can resonate by feeling personally meaningful even without complete agreement.
例文

彼女のメッセージは若い有権者の心に響いています。

resonating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 resonare(反響する)の現在分詞形。re-(再び)+ sonare(鳴る)で「音が跳ね返って響く」が原義。関連語: resonate, sound。物理的な共振から比喩的に「人の心に響く、共感を呼ぶ」という意味に拡張された。
Resonating is formed from resonate by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Resonate comes from Latin resonare, “to sound again or echo,” combining re-, “again or back,” and sonare, “to sound,” from sonus, “sound.” Its original reference to audible vibration expanded naturally into the figurative sense of creating a lasting emotional or intellectual response.
