解説 Definition
transiting は transit（通過する、乗り継ぐ）の動名詞・現在分詞です。名詞的には、ある場所や経路を通過すること、または移動の途中で乗り継ぐことを表します。
The act or process of passing through a place or traveling between points, especially while continuing toward another destination or making a connection during a journey.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 transit「通過する・乗り継ぐ」に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、語末の t は重ねず transiting とします。transiting through an airport や passengers transiting between terminals のように、目的地ではなく移動途中の場所を通る場面と結び付けると定着します。
Link transiting with the base verb transit, meaning to pass through a place on the way elsewhere. Add -ing without doubling the final t: transit becomes transiting, since the main stress is not on the last syllable. Picture passengers transiting through an airport or transiting between terminals by following connection signs. The key idea is movement through an intermediate location, not arrival at the final destination. Passing through is the everyday equivalent, while transiting is more formal and often appears in travel, transport, customs, and technical contexts.

transiting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
transiting は transit「通過する／通過」に -ing が付いた形で、語源はラテン語 transire です。trans-「越えて」+ ire「行く」なので、もともとは「向こう側へ行く途中」の意で、そこから「通過」と分かります。同根語に transition、transmit があります。
Transiting is the -ing form of transit. Transit ultimately comes from Latin transire, formed from trans-, meaning “across” or “beyond,” and ire, meaning “to go.” It therefore carries the basic image of going across or passing through. English transit developed both noun and verb uses associated with movement, passage, and transportation; adding -ing presents that passage as an activity or process.
