覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 showcase「魅力が伝わるよう展示・紹介する」に -ing を付け、末尾の無音 e を落として showcasing とします。発音は /ˈʃoʊkeɪsɪŋ/。show＋case「見せるためのケース」を思い浮かべ、artists、technology、ideas などの長所を目立たせて見せている場面と結び付けましょう。
Begin with showcase, originally a case designed to show valuable objects, and extend that image to anything presented attractively. To form showcasing, drop the silent final e of showcase before adding -ing. The pronunciation keeps the final /s/ of showcase before the -ing ending. Think of a museum showcasing artists, an event showcasing technology, or a report showcasing ideas: each presents something so that people notice its value or special features. This is stronger and more promotional than merely showing something without emphasis.

そのイベントでは学校向けの新技術を展示しています。

showcasing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
英語 show（古英語 scēawian「見る」）+ case（ラテン語 capsa「箱」）から成る showcase の現在分詞形。「見せるための箱＝陳列棚」が原義で、転じて「目立つように展示する」意味に。関連語: show（見せ物）、bookcase（本棚）。
Showcasing is the -ing form of the verb showcase. Showcase was first a compound noun formed from show and case, referring to a glass-fronted case used to display goods or valued objects. Show comes through Old English scēawian, associated with looking and making visible, while case ultimately derives from Latin capsa, “box.” The noun later became a verb meaning to present something prominently, producing the participial form showcasing.
