Burglarising

/ˈbɜːrɡləraɪzɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of burglarise; the act of committing burglary.

Etymology

From burglarise + -ing (present participle suffix). Standard British formation for continuous action.

Kelly Says

The -ing form lets you talk about burglary as an ongoing action: 'burglarising homes' is technically a gerund—the criminal version of a regular hobby!
