Curriing

/ˈkɜːriɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The act or process of preparing something with curry spices, or treating leather with curry (currying).

Etymology

Present participle of 'curry,' formed by adding '-ing.' The spelling shows the base 'curry' with the doubled vowel preserved before '-ing.'

Kelly Says

This word shows an interesting spelling choice: 'curriing' with double 'i' to preserve the 'y' sound—compare how 'dying' and 'lying' keep their sounds while 'currying' uses a different pattern.
