Choring

/ˈtʃɔrɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of doing chores or routine household tasks.

Etymology

From chore (Old English cerr, possibly from Latin cura 'care') + -ing. Originally meant a turn of work or day's work, gradually narrowed to mean regular domestic tasks.

Kelly Says

Chores sound boring, but the word comes from the same root as 'care'—every chore was historically someone's 'turn to care for' the household, making it a shared responsibility word.
