The act of trifling, dawdling, or wasting time; engaging in ineffectual or indecisive behavior.
From 'daffle' (to trifle or dawdle) + present participle suffix '-ing', describing ongoing or habitual time-wasting activity.
The present participle '-ing' form transforms a verb into a noun, which is why 'daffling' can describe both the action happening right now and the general behavior pattern—a flexible grammatical move that English uses constantly.
