玉掛け
解説 Definition
slinging は sling（つり具でつる、投げる）の現在分詞・動名詞です。ここでは建設や運搬で荷をワイヤーやベルトでつる準備をする「玉掛け」の意味で使われます。
Slinging is the activity of securing a load with slings, cables, or straps so that a crane or other lifting equipment can raise and move it safely. It can also function as the present participle of sling.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 sling「つり具でつる」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、g を重ねず slinging、発音は /ˈslɪŋɪŋ/ です。玉掛けでは sling a load、slinging heavy loads のように、ワイヤーやベルトを荷に掛けて安全に吊り上げる準備をする場面と結び付けます。
Start with the base verb sling, meaning to support or lift something in a sling. Add -ing without doubling the final g: sling becomes slinging, pronounced /ˈslɪŋɪŋ/. In construction and load handling, picture workers placing wire ropes or straps around a steel beam before a crane lifts it. This makes the specialist sense easy to retain: slinging is preparing and securing a load for lifting. Useful combinations include “slinging a load,” “slinging operations,” and “safe slinging practices.” The same form can have other meanings elsewhere, such as throwing something.

slinging の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 slingan（投げる、振り回す）に由来し、古ノルド語 slyngva とも同根。原義は「紐や帯を使って物を投げる・吊る」こと。関連語：sling（吊り紐）、slingshot（パチンコ）。重い物を紐で吊り上げる動作が「玉掛け」の意味に発展した。
Slinging is the -ing form of sling. The verb is related to Old Norse slyngva and to an Old English verb meaning “to throw” or “hurl.” Its early senses involved casting or swinging something, often with a cord or flexible support. From the noun sling, meaning a strap or rope used to support an object, the verb developed the technical sense of attaching lifting slings to a heavy load.
