Deashing

/diːˈæʃɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The process or act of removing ash from something.

Etymology

Present participle of deash, formed with the -ing suffix. The -ing form indicates an ongoing action or gerund form that can function as a noun.

Kelly Says

The -ing suffix is incredibly productive in English—it turns any verb into something that can describe the action happening right now, which is why 'deashing' can be both a verb form and a noun describing the activity itself.
