Avowing

/əˈvaʊ.ɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of 'avow'; the act of openly declaring or admitting something.

Etymology

From 'avow' with the present participle suffix '-ing,' showing the ongoing action of declaring.

Kelly Says

The gerund form 'avowing' is interesting because it suggests a continuous or repeated action—not just one declaration but the habit of openly claiming things. It makes avowal sound more like a character trait.
