覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
名詞・動詞 wine に -ing を付ける際、語末の e を落として wining となります。発音は wine と同じ二重母音を保つ /ˈwaɪnɪŋ/ です。wining and dining「飲食でもてなす」という定番表現や、友人とワインを楽しむ場面で覚えましょう。winning は n が二つで「勝つこと」なので、wine の名残で n が一つ、と綴りを区別します。
Wining is the -ing form of wine. When -ing is added, the final silent e is removed: wine becomes wining, pronounced /ˈwaɪnɪŋ/. Connect it with a relaxed evening of drinking wine with friends or with the familiar phrase wining and dining, which means entertaining people generously with food and drink. The spelling needs special attention because winning has two n’s and refers to victory. Wining keeps only one n because it comes from wine.

wining の語源・成り立ち Etymology
英語 wine（ワイン）に動名詞語尾 -ing が付いた語。wine はラテン語 vinum（ぶどう酒）に由来し、ギリシャ語 oinos も同源。関連語: vineyard（ぶどう園）、vintage（収穫年）。ラテン語 vinum がぶどうの蔓 vitis と結びつき「ぶどうから作る酒」を意味した。
Wining is formed from the noun and verb wine by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Wine entered Old English through an early Germanic borrowing ultimately connected with Latin vinum, meaning wine. The English verb developed the senses of drinking wine and entertaining someone with wine. In modern usage, its -ing form occurs most naturally in social or hospitality contexts, particularly in the fixed pairing wining and dining.
