Concentring

/kənˈsɛntrɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of concentre; the act of gathering toward or focusing on a center.

Etymology

The -ing form of concentre, following standard English gerund rules. This form emphasizes the ongoing process of bringing things together toward a central point.

Kelly Says

The -ing form lets us talk about the *action* of concentrating—so while concentrate is the goal, concentring describes the process, which is why athletes talk about 'concentring their energy' before competition.
