覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 tender「正式に申し出る・入札する」に -ing をそのまま付けた動名詞・現在分詞で、tendering /ˈtendərɪŋ/。tender for a contract「契約に入札する」、tendering process「入札手続き」と覚える。auction が競り上げ・競り下げの場を指すのに対し、こちらは条件や価格を書面で正式に提出する手続きが中心。
Take the verb tender in its business sense, “to submit a formal offer,” and add -ing directly: tendering, pronounced /ˈtendərɪŋ/. Link it with tender for a contract, competitive tendering, and the tendering process. The core picture is a company putting forward its price and conditions so that a public authority or client can compare proposals. Unlike a casual offer, a tender normally follows formal requirements and deadlines. An auction centers on competitive bidding at an event; tendering often involves sealed or documented proposals evaluated afterward.

tendering の語源・成り立ち Etymology
tendering は tender「正式に申し出る・入札する」に -ing が付いた形で、語源は古フランス語 tendre、さらにラテン語 tendere「差し出す・伸ばす」にさかのぼります。もともと「前へ差し出す」感覚があり、そこから条件や価格を公に差し出す「入札」という意味になりました。関連語は tend, tendency。
Tendering is formed from tender plus -ing. The relevant verb tender came through Anglo-French or Old French tendre and ultimately from Latin tendere, “to stretch” or “extend.” From the physical idea of extending something toward another person, tender developed the sense of formally presenting or offering something. In commercial and public-contract language, this became the submission of a priced proposal. The -ing form names the process or marks an action in progress.
