覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
winning は win「勝つ」に -ing を付けた形で、短母音＋子音のため n を重ねます。形容詞では the winning team「勝ったチーム」、the winning goal「勝利を決めた得点」のように、勝者または勝利をもたらすものを名詞の前から説明します。win–winning と綴りを確認し、losing と対比して覚えましょう。
Build winning from the verb win plus -ing. Because win ends in a stressed short vowel followed by one consonant, the final n is doubled: win becomes winning. As an adjective, it can identify the successful side, as in the winning team, or the action that secured victory, as in the winning goal. Learn these two patterns together. Contrast winning with losing, and distinguish the adjective from winnings, a plural noun meaning money or prizes gained through gambling or competition. The base verb win should always remain the central memory link.
例文
The winning team is happy.
勝ったチームは喜んでいます。
She scored the winning goal.
彼女が決勝点を決めました。
Everyone cheered for the winning player.
みんなが勝った選手に声援を送りました。

winning の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 winnan（努力する、戦う）から。元は「勝利」より「苦闘」の意味が強く、戦って勝ち取るニュアンスがあった。関連語：win（勝つ）、winnings（賞金）。努力の末に得るものという原義が、現在の「勝利の・魅力的な」という意味につながっている。
Winning is formed from win and the suffix -ing, with the final n doubled according to regular English spelling conventions. Win comes from Old English winnan, which originally meant “to labor, struggle, or fight.” The sense developed from striving in conflict to succeeding or gaining victory. The participial form winning can function verbally, but its adjectival use describes a victorious person or side, or something that produces the decisive success.
