覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
springing は原形 spring に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末の子音を重ねない。発音は /ˈsprɪŋɪŋ/。ばねが跳ねるように水が割れ目から勢いよく出る像を思い浮かべ、water springing from a crack や springing out of the hillside の形で覚える。
Start with the base verb spring, which can mean to jump or to emerge suddenly. Add -ing directly, without doubling the final consonant, to make springing, pronounced /ˈsprɪŋɪŋ/. Picture water behaving like a released spring: it shoots or bubbles out from a crack in rock or from a hillside. Useful patterns include “water springing from a crack” and “a stream springing out of the ground.” This image separates the sense from the seasonal noun spring while preserving the shared idea of sudden emergence.

springing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
springing は spring の現在分詞で、spring は古英語 springan「跳ぶ・噴き出す」にさかのぼります。水が地面から勢いよく飛び出すイメージから「湧き出る」となり、同根には spring と offspring があります。
Springing consists of the verb spring and the participial suffix -ing. Spring descends from Old English springan, which meant to leap, rise, or burst forth. The physical image of sudden upward or outward movement naturally developed into the use for water emerging from the ground. The same Germanic base also underlies spring as the name of a water source and contributes to compounds such as offspring.
