Anagrammatising

/ˌænəˈɡræməˌtaɪzɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of anagrammatise; in the process of creating an anagram or rearranging letters (British spelling).

Etymology

The present participle of 'anagrammatise,' formed by adding '-ing' to the stem. This form is used for ongoing actions and can function as a noun, adjective, or verb form.

Kelly Says

The '-ing' suffix is so ancient that it appears in English words dating back to Old English times—so when you're 'anagrammatising,' you're using a word-formation pattern that's been around for over 1,000 years.
