British spelling of breveting; the present participle of brevet, meaning the act of granting a brevet commission.
British variant with doubled 't' before '-ing,' following the same doubling rule as 'brevetted,' standard in British English for stressed single-syllable endings.
The doubled 't' in British English isn't random—it's based on the principle that you double consonants before suffixes to keep the vowel sound short, which is why 'brevet' becomes 'brevetted' not 'breveted'.
