解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 string「弦を張る・糸に通す」に -ing を付けた形で、stringing /ˈstrɪŋɪŋ/ と発音し、g は追加しません。stringing a racket ならガットを張ること、stringing beads ならビーズを糸に通すことです。「一本の string で物をつなぐ・ぴんと張る」を核に覚えましょう。
Start with the noun string: a thin cord, thread, or instrument string. As a verb, string means to fit something with strings or to thread items onto one. Stringing is formed by adding -ing without changing the base spelling, and is pronounced /ˈstrɪŋɪŋ/. Picture two typical scenes: stringing a tennis racket by pulling its strings tight, and stringing beads by passing a thread through them. Both meanings share the idea of arranging or connecting something with a string.
例文

stringing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 streng（綱、弦）から派生。印欧祖語 *strenk-（きつく引く）が語根で、strong（強い）と同根。弦を張る動作が原義で、string に動名詞接尾辞 -ing が付いた形。糸や弦を「ぴんと張る」イメージが核心にある。
Stringing is the -ing form of string, which comes from Old English streng, meaning a cord, rope, or musical string. The word is related historically to strong and is associated with an ancient Germanic idea of tightness or tension. The noun later became a verb meaning to furnish an object with strings or to place objects along a string. Adding -ing names the continuing action or the process itself.
