Appearing
“Appearing” 是 “appear” 的现在分词，可作形容词。表示正在出现、登场或出庭；也可表示表面看起来如何（appearing confident）。法律语境中 “appearing in court” 指出庭。

“Appear” 来自拉丁语 “apparere”，由 “ad-”（向）和 “parere”（显现）组成，意为“来到眼前、显现”。
前缀 “ap-” 为 “ad-” 的变体；词根 “pear” 与显现相关；“-ing” 为现在分词后缀。
娱乐新闻常用 “appearing as a guest” 描述嘉宾出镜；法律报道中 “appearing for the defense” 指为被告出庭辩护。
