覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 summarize「要約する」の語末の e を落として -ing を付けた形です。summary「要約」と結び付け、細部を並べるのでなく main points「要点」を短く示す動作と覚えます。summarizing a report や spend time summarizing の形が典型で、英式綴りでは summarising も使われます。
Link summarizing with summary, a short statement of the main points. The base verb is summarize; before -ing is added, its final silent e is dropped: summarize becomes summarizing. Imagine reducing a long report or lesson to only its essential ideas, without adding new arguments or repeating every detail. Useful patterns include be summarizing a report, spend time summarizing, and summarizing each chapter. In British English, the corresponding spelling summarising is also standard because the verb is commonly written summarise.

各章を要約することで、その本を理解しやすくなりました。

summarizing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
summary の語源はラテン語 summa「全体・要点」で、そこから summarize「要約する」ができ、summarizing はその進行・動名詞形です。つまり「全体の上澄みだけを取る」感覚で、要点だけを短くまとめる意味になります。関連語は summary, sum。
Summarize was formed from summary with the verb-forming suffix -ize. Summary ultimately comes through Latin summarium from summa, meaning a total, whole, or chief amount, itself related to summus, “highest.” The semantic development moved from the total or main substance of something to a concise account of its essential points. Summarizing is formed by dropping the final silent e of summarize and adding -ing. British English commonly uses summarising from summarise.
