覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 weight「重みを付ける」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、発音は /ˈweɪtɪŋ/。実物を重くするより、データや基準の重要度を調整する用法が中心です。weighting recent data more heavily のように、対象と比重を表す副詞を組み合わせて覚えます。
Weighting is formed from the verb weight plus -ing and is pronounced /ˈweɪtɪŋ/. Think of an invisible scale: instead of adding physical mass, an analyst gives some data or criteria more influence over the final result. Common patterns include weighting recent data more heavily, weighting factors equally, and weighting feedback by reliability. This distinguishes weighting from weighing: weighing can mean measuring physical weight or carefully considering options, while weighting specifically means assigning a chosen degree of importance or influence.

weighting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
weighting は weight に動作名詞の -ing が付いた語です。weight は古英語 gewiht にさかのぼり、weigh や vehicle と同じく「運ぶ・支える」系の語根と結びつきます。実際の重さを載せる感覚から、数字や条件に比重を与える『重み付け』になりました。
Weighting consists of weight and the participial or gerund ending -ing. Weight comes from Old English gewiht, a noun related to weigh and ultimately to a Germanic verb meaning “to carry or move.” The idea of physical heaviness later developed a figurative sense of importance or influence. From that sense, the verb weight came to mean assigning different influence to values, criteria, or evidence in a calculation.
