Discoursing

/dɪˈskɔːrsɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of speaking or writing at length about a topic; engaging in formal discussion or conversation.

Etymology

Present participle of 'discourse.' The gerund or continuous form shows an action in progress.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, the best 'discoursing' happens when people are 'in the zone'—a state of flow where ideas connect naturally—which is why long-form interviews and podcasts are more engaging than rapid-fire social media posts.
