British spelling of curveting; performing a curvet or curved leap.
From 'curvet' + '-ting' (British variant of present participle '-ing'). British spelling doubles the final consonant before adding '-ing' when the word has a short vowel and single consonant.
This is a fascinating spelling difference—'curvetting' (British) doubles the T, while American English prefers 'curveting'—the same rule applies to 'omitted' vs. 'omited'!
