Bunching

/ˈbʌntʃɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The action or process of gathering things into bunches or clusters; crowding together.

Etymology

From bunch plus -ing, the continuous action suffix. Can function as a gerund (noun form of a verb) or present participle.

Kelly Says

The -ing ending is incredibly productive—it turns any verb into a noun or describes an ongoing action—'run' becomes 'running,' 'bunch' becomes 'bunching,' letting us talk about actions as things!
