stripping
剥離
解説 Definition
ストリッピングとは、何かから外側の層や覆いを取り除く行為を指す。塗装を剥がしたり、電線の被覆を取り除いたり、機器を分解したりする場合に使われる。工業・建設・修理作業の文脈で広く用いられる語である。
The act or process of removing an outer layer, covering, coating, or attached parts from something. In industrial, construction, and repair contexts, it includes taking off old paint, removing insulation from wire, or dismantling machinery into its components.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形strip「覆いを剥ぐ」に-ingを付け、短母音＋pで終わるためpを重ねてstrippingとなる。paint stripping、wire strippingのように、表面の塗料や電線の被覆を除く作業と結び付ける。strip an engine downでは部品まで分解する意味になり、単なるcleaningより「覆い・部品を取り去る」動作が強い。
Begin with strip, “to remove a covering or outer layer.” Because strip ends in a short vowel followed by one consonant, the p doubles before -ing: stripping. Anchor the noun to practical combinations such as paint stripping and wire stripping. Picture old paint being removed from a wall or insulation being taken off a copper wire. In strip an engine down, the same idea extends to removing parts until the machine is dismantled. Unlike ordinary cleaning, stripping removes a layer, covering, or component rather than merely dirt.
例文

作業員たちは再塗装の前に、壁から古いペンキを剥がし始めた。
Stripping the engine down to its components took several hours.
エンジンを部品ごとに分解するのに数時間かかった。
He was stripping the copper wire of its insulation carefully.
彼は銅線の絶縁被覆を丁寧に剥がしていた。

stripping の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中低ドイツ語 strippen（剥ぐ）またはゲルマン祖語に由来する。「覆いを剥ぎ取る」が原義で、表面から何かを取り除く動作を表す。関連語に stripe（縞模様＝剥いだ跡の線）がある。剥離とは表層を一枚ずつ剝がす行為そのものを指す。
Stripping is formed from strip plus -ing, with the final p doubled. The verb strip entered Middle English, probably from a Germanic source represented by Middle Low German strippen, “to strip off or plunder.” Its central historical sense is removing clothes, a covering, or an outer layer. From that concrete action came technical uses for removing paint or wire insulation and for dismantling machinery. A direct historical relationship with stripe is not firmly established.
