解説 Definition
写真や切り抜きなどをアルバムに貼り付けて装飾する趣味・クラフト活動。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
scrap は「切れ端・切り抜き」、book は「本」、-ing は activity を表す形と見ると、「写真や紙の小片を本のページにまとめて飾る活動」と一気に像が出ます。make a scrapbook, enjoy scrapbooking の形で覚えると実戦的。photo album が写真をしまう感じなのに対し、scrapbooking は切る・貼る・飾るクラフト感が強い語。なお scrap には「廃棄する」の意味もあるので、ここでは「切れ端」の側だと切り分けると混同しにくいです。
Split it into `scrap` + `book` + `-ing`. `Scrap` here means small pieces or cutouts, not "throw away," and `-ing` shows the activity. It helps to compare it with a `photo album`: `scrapbooking` feels more like a creative craft with cutting, pasting, and decorating.

scrapbooking の語源・成り立ち Etymology
scrapbooking は scrap「切れ端」と book に動作名詞の -ing が付いた語で、scrap は古ノルド語系、book は古英語 bōc にさかのぼります。切れ端を本へ整理して記憶に変える語なので、scrapbook や booklet を見ると発想の芯がつかめます。
"Scrapbooking" comes from "scrap," "book," and the ending "-ing." "Scrap" is from Old Norse and referred to a small piece or fragment, while "book" comes from Old English "boc." The word grew from the idea of gathering little pieces into a book, and then came to refer to the activity built around that practice. Related forms include "scrapbook" and "booklet."
