3 +2 | How an antiphlogistic is developed |
|
How an antiphlogistic is developed Explanation: Here 「のできるまで」(slightly colloquial for 「ができるまで」) literally means "up to the point that ___ comes into existence", with "できる" here not meaning "to be able to" (「能力・可能性がある」, which 『スーパー大辞林 3.0』qualifies as 「近世以降の用法」) but instead having its original meaning of 「自然に生じる。a. それまでなかった物が生じる。」. As the two Web references that I provide show, typically the expression「の/ができるまで」is used not so much with its simple grammatical meaning of "up until the point/time that" as with the meaning "the steps by which something reaches the point that", i.e., "how ___ comes into being". That would be the most likely meaning if the phrase is found, as you write, in "the complete title of a chapter in a magazine or book". However, the classification for this question is given as "language in a service agr"[eement?]. If the context is not an explanation of a process but instead a legal agreement, then the expression would mean literally "up to the point that the/an antiphlogistic is[may be] developed", and might indicate that certain rights, obligations, relationships, or funds exist up to the point that such a drug may be developed, but that they change from that point onward.
