transference
転移
解説 Definition
心理学において、患者が無意識のうちに治療者や分析家に対して、過去の人間関係から来た感情や態度を投影する現象を指します。より広く、ある感情や特性が別の対象や関係に無意識に移行することを意味します。
Transference is the movement of something from one person, place, or situation to another. In psychology, it especially means that a person puts feelings from an earlier relationship onto someone in the present, such as a therapist. The exact meaning depends on the field, so context is important.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
transfer を知っていれば覚えやすい語です。まず『何かを別の相手へ移す』感覚を持つと、transference はその名詞形で『移っていくこと・移してしまうこと』。心理では feelings are transferred to the therapist のように、昔の親や恋人への感情が治療者に向かってしまう場面を思い浮かべると定着します。transfer は事務的な移動、transference は感情・性質の移り込みまで含む、と押さえると混同しにくいです。
If you know `transfer`, you already have the core idea: moving something from one place or person to another. `Transference` is the noun form, but it is often used for feelings or qualities, not just physical things. In psychology, imagine old feelings being moved onto a new person, and the word becomes easier to remember.

transference の語源・成り立ち Etymology
transferenceはラテン語 transferre に由来し、trans-「越えて」+ ferre「運ぶ」+ -ence「作用・状態」で成ります。芯の意味は「向こう側へ運ぶこと」で、transfer や refer と同根だと思うと、物だけでなく感情や性質まで別の場所へ移す語だと腑に落ちます。
Transference comes from Latin transferre, built from trans- meaning "across" and ferre meaning "to carry." Its basic sense was carrying something from one place to another. From that physical image, English extended it to less concrete things like feelings, qualities, or responsibility. Transfer and refer share the same Latin verb root.
