覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 score「得点する」の語末 e を落として -ing を付けた形が scoring です。scoring a goal、scoring points、scoring early の組み合わせで、試合の得点場面を思い浮かべましょう。採点の意味もありますが、ここでは選手やチームが点を取ることに限定します。
Start with the verb score, meaning to gain a point or goal. Because score ends in a silent e, drop that e before adding -ing: score becomes scoring. Remember it through sports phrases such as scoring a goal, scoring many points, and scoring early. Imagine the scoreboard changing immediately after a successful play. Scoring can also refer to evaluating work and assigning marks, but in these examples it specifically describes a player or team gaining points in a game or competition.

scoring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
scoring は score「点をつける・得点する」に -ing が付いた形で、score は古ノルド語 skor「刻み目・切れ込み」に由来します。もとは棒に刻み目を付けて数える感覚で、score や underscore を思うと「点を記す」から今の意味へつながります。
Scoring consists of score and the suffix -ing, with the silent final e removed. Score comes through Old English from Old Norse skor, meaning a notch or incision. Notches were used to keep numerical records, which led to senses involving a count or total and later to points gained in games. The modern sports verb score therefore retains the older connection with recording a number.
