覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
stab「鋭い物で刺す」は短母音の後に子音一字で終わるため、b を重ねて -ing を付け、stabbing となります。名詞では a stabbing が「刺傷事件」、stabbing pain が「刺すような鋭い痛み」です。事件そのものと痛みの比喩的な鋭さという二つの典型場面で覚えましょう。
Stabbing comes from stab. Because stab has a short vowel followed by one final consonant, double the b before adding -ing: stab becomes stabbing. As a countable noun, a stabbing is an incident in which a person is attacked with a knife or another pointed object. In the common phrase stabbing pain, the word is descriptive rather than literal: the pain feels suddenly sharp and piercing. Keep both patterns in mind—a reported stabbing for an incident and a stabbing pain for a bodily sensation.

stabbing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語 stabben に由来し、スコットランド・ゲール語 stob（杭・突き刺す棒）と関連する。鋭い物で素早く突く動作が原義。関連語: stub（切り株）、staff（杖）。いずれも「棒状の物を突き立てる」イメージを共有し、先端の鋭い物で一突きする動作が「刺す」の意味に発展した。
Stabbing is formed from stab by doubling the final b before adding -ing. Stab is recorded in Middle English as stabben, meaning to thrust with a pointed weapon. Its deeper origin is uncertain, though it has been associated with words for a stake or pointed object, including Scottish Gaelic stob. The central historical and modern image remains a quick thrust made with something sharp or pointed.
