覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
stabilize「安定させる」の語末 e を落として -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、stabilize→stabilizing となります。stable「安定した」、stability「安定」と同じ語族です。「しっかり立つ状態へ移す」像から、患者・価格・システムの揺れを抑える場面を連想し、stabilizing the patient・prices・system と覚えましょう。
Stabilizing is formed from stabilize by dropping the final silent e before adding -ing: stabilize becomes stabilizing. Link it with stable and stability, which share the idea of remaining firm or steady. Imagine supporting something that is wobbling until it can stand securely; the same image works figuratively for a patient, prices, a computer system, or an economy. Common combinations include stabilizing the patient, stabilizing prices, and stabilizing the system. Maintaining describes keeping an existing condition, whereas stabilizing usually implies first reducing dangerous change, fluctuation, or instability.

stabilizing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
stabilizing は stabilize に進行・動名詞の -ing が付いた形。stabilize は仏語経由でラテン語 stabilis「しっかり立つ」にさかのぼり、語根は stare「立つ」で、stable・stability と同根。『立った状態を保たせる』から『安定化する』です。
Stabilizing is the -ing form of stabilize. Stabilize was formed from stable with the verb-forming suffix -ize and ultimately traces through French and Latin to Latin stabilis, “firm or steadfast.” Stabilis is related to stare, “to stand,” giving the word its underlying image of making something stand firmly. Stable and stability belong to the same family. In spelling, the final silent e of stabilize is removed before the participial or gerund ending -ing is added.
