Making someone satisfied or pleased; bringing contentment to someone.
From 'content' (verb meaning to make satisfied) plus -ing (the present participle suffix). The word shows the action of satisfying or pleasing others.
There's an interesting paradox here: the things that are 'contenting' in the short term (like dessert) aren't always the things that bring lasting 'contentment' (like exercise)—the -ing form captures temporary satisfaction.
