Present participle of 'cab,' meaning the act of traveling by taxi or working as a taxi driver.
From cab plus the present participle suffix '-ing,' showing the ongoing or habitual action of using or operating a cab.
Modern Uber and Lyft workers are essentially doing the same activity as traditional cabbing, but they're doing it through an app rather than hailing on the street—language hasn't quite caught up, so we still use 'cab' and 'cabbing' for both the old and new methods.
