Agenting

/ˈeɪdʒəntɪŋ/ noun

Definition

Working as an agent or representing others professionally; the profession or activity of an agent.

Etymology

From agent + -ing suffix; gerund form of 'to agent' (to act as an agent), though 'to agent' is rare in formal usage.

Kelly Says

'Agenting' is a peculiar word because 'agent' functions primarily as a noun, so 'agenting' (acting like an agent) sounds awkward in English, yet it appears regularly in entertainment industry contexts like 'talent agenting.'
