海運、船舶輸送
解説 Definition
貨物を船で運ぶ「海運」や、その業界・航路・国際輸送網を指します。港、コンテナ船、運賃、市況など貿易や物流ニュースで使われ、個別注文の発送よりも大規模な船舶輸送に焦点があります。
Shipping is the business or process of transporting goods by sea. It is often used in trade, business, and logistics when talking about moving products between ports or countries.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
こちらは ship の本来の「船」が前面に出る意味です。shipping industry は海運業界、shipping lanes は航路、shipping company は文脈によって海運会社を指します。ネット通販の shipping が注文単位の発送なら、この意味は港から港へ大量の貨物を動かす国際物流の話です。container ships や freight rates と一緒に出たら海運と判断しやすくなります。
Start with the base word `ship`, meaning a boat. In trade or transport topics, `shipping` usually means moving goods by sea, not general transport. Link it with phrases like `shipping industry` and `shipping lanes` to keep the sea connection clear.

shipping は ship「船で送る」に -ing が付いた名詞で、今は船に限らず商品を発送・出荷する一連の作業を指します。shipping cost、shipping address、free shipping のように通販や物流で頻出です。delivery は受け手に届く瞬間に焦点があり、shipping は倉庫から送り出す側の処理を思い浮かべると区別しやすいです。
Schemata is the Greek-style plural of schema, so think of it as several patterns or diagrams. Since schema means a form, plan, or arrangement, you can connect it with schematic, which describes a diagram made of lines, boxes, and labels. In everyday speech, people usually say diagrams, but schemata may appear in textbooks, manuals, or academic writing.

shipping の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 scip（船）に由来し、-ing は動作・行為を表す接尾辞。元は「船に積む行為」を意味し、転じて輸送・送料全般を指すようになった。関連語: ship（船）、shipment（出荷）。海運が物流の中心だった時代の名残が感じられる語。
Shipping comes from ship, from Old English scip, with the ending -ing added to show an action or process. At first it referred especially to loading goods onto a ship or sending them by sea. Later, because sea transport was central to trade, the word widened to mean transport and delivery more generally. Related words include ship and shipment.
