スキップ
解説 Definition
skipping は skip（飛ばす、抜かす）の動名詞・現在分詞です。予定された部分や順番を飛ばすことを表し、日本語の「スキップする」に近い使い方ができます。
The present participle or gerund of “skip,” meaning to leave out something expected, such as a meal, chapter, turn, or step, instead of doing or including it.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 skip に -ing を付ける際、短母音＋子音字で終わるため p を重ねて skipping となります。発音は skip /skɪp/ に /ɪŋ/ が加わります。skip breakfast、skip a chapter、skip steps のように、本来行う部分を抜かす場面と結び付けて覚えましょう。
Connect skipping directly with the base verb skip. Because skip ends in a short vowel followed by one consonant, the final p is doubled before -ing: skip becomes skipping. Its pronunciation keeps the vowel in skip and adds the ending /ɪŋ/. Remember it through common combinations such as skipping breakfast, skipping a chapter, and skipping important steps. In each case, something normally expected is deliberately or accidentally left out.
例文
Skipping breakfast is not a good habit.
朝食を抜くのはよい習慣ではありません。
She is skipping the first chapter.
彼女は第1章を飛ばしています。
The teacher noticed that he was skipping important steps.
先生は彼が重要な手順を飛ばしていることに気づきました。

skipping の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語 skippen から。古ノルド語 skopa（走る、跳ぶ）に由来し、軽く跳ねる動作を表す。関連語：skip（跳ぶ）、skipper（船長＝障害を飛び越えて進む者）。軽快に飛び跳ねながら進む様子がそのまま意味になった語。
Skipping is formed from skip plus the participial ending -ing, with the final p doubled according to the usual spelling rule. Skip entered English through Middle English skippen and is associated with Scandinavian words for leaping or moving quickly. The physical idea of jumping over something later developed into the figurative sense of omitting a meal, passage, turn, or stage.
