覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 treat「治療する」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末を変えず treating とする。発音では treat の /t/ に /ɪŋ/ が続く。医療の語義では treat a patient、treat a cut、treat an illness の形を取り、cure「治す」が完治という結果を示すのに対し、treat は必要な処置を行う過程に焦点を置く。
Build treating from the base verb treat plus -ing; no letter is dropped or doubled. In medical contexts, learn it with a direct object: treating a patient, treating a cut, or treating an illness. The word focuses on providing medical attention or therapy, not necessarily on achieving complete recovery. This distinguishes treating from curing: a doctor may be treating a condition even when no cure is available. In sentences such as The nurse is treating many patients, is treating forms the present continuous and emphasizes care in progress.

彼女は彼の手の小さな切り傷を手当てしています。

treating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 tractāre（扱う、処理する）が古フランス語 traitier を経て英語に入った。語根 tract-は「引く」の意味で、treat は本来「取り扱う」こと。そこから「患者を扱う→治療する」「客を扱う→もてなす」と意味が広がった。関連語: tract（論文）、extract（引き出す）。
Treating is the -ing form of treat. Treat came through Old French traitier from Latin tractare, meaning “handle, manage, or deal with,” a frequentative form related to trahere, “draw or pull.” The broad idea of handling a matter developed into several English senses. In medicine, treating someone or something came to mean managing an illness, injury, or patient through professional care.
