Archaic present participle of compromit; binding oneself through mutual agreement or promise.
From 'compromit' with the -ing suffix added. Represents the present participle or gerund form of this obsolete verb.
The double-t in 'compromitting' follows the same consonant-doubling rule as 'compromitted'—but this rule is disappearing from English. Modern writers would more likely write 'compromiting' without the double-t, showing how orthographic rules constantly simplify over time.
