覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 trust「信頼する」に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末の子音は重ねません。trust someone to do ～「人が～すると信頼して任せる」や trusting someone takes time「人を信頼するには時間がかかる」という形で、相手を頼る動作として覚えましょう。
Link trusting to the base verb trust, meaning “believe that someone or something is reliable.” Add -ing directly; the final consonants are not doubled. Remember the useful pattern trust someone to do something: trusting your team to finish means relying on them and allowing them responsibility. As a gerund, it can name the action, as in “Trusting a new partner takes time.” This verb use differs from the adjective trusting, which often describes a person who readily believes others.
例文

私はあなたの助言を信頼しています。
She is trusting her team to finish the work.
彼女は仕事を終えることをチームに任せて信頼しています。
Trusting a new partner takes time.
新しい相手を信頼するには時間がかかります。

trusting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 traust（信頼・強さ）に由来し、中英語 trusten を経て現代英語へ。語根は印欧祖語 *deru-（木・堅固な）に遡り、tree（木）や true（真実の）と同根。木のように揺るがない堅さが「信頼」の原義である。
Trusting is formed from trust and the suffix -ing. Trust entered Middle English under Scandinavian influence and is related to Old Norse traust, meaning “confidence, help, or protection.” The older word carried associations of firmness and reliability, which developed naturally into the modern sense of depending on someone or accepting something as reliable. The -ing ending marks the action as ongoing or turns it into a gerund.
