the act of covering something with slime; present participle of beslime.
From beslime (verb) + -ing (present participle suffix). The -ing form shows the action as ongoing or continuous.
The -ing form is incredible for English—it lets you turn any verb into a noun or adjective, which is why we can 'enjoy running' or describe something as 'disgusting' (causing disgust).
