覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 withdraw に -ing を付けた現在分詞で、語末の w は変化せず withdrawing、発音の中心も withdraw /wɪðˈdrɔː/ のままです。with- はここでは「後ろへ・離れて」、draw は「引く」。withdraw from a region「地域から撤退する」、withdraw cash「現金を引き出す」で核をつかみます。
Connect withdrawing with withdraw: add -ing directly, with no spelling change. The older sense of with- here is “back” or “away,” while draw means “pull,” so imagine pulling something back. An army may be withdrawing from a region, a person may be withdrawing from social contact, and a customer may be withdrawing cash from an ATM. Learn the object or preposition with the verb: withdraw from a place or activity, but withdraw money or an application. These patterns reveal whether the movement is physical, social, or administrative.

withdrawing は古英語系の withdraw の現在分詞で、with は古く「後ろへ・離れて」、draw は「引く」。つまり「引いて後ろへ下がる」が核で、撤退する意味が自然に出る。関連語は draw、withdrawal。
Withdrawing is the present-participle form of withdraw, made by adding -ing without changing the spelling of the base.
