Disgorging

/dɪsˈɡɔːrdʒɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of disgorge; the process of ejecting, expelling, or surrendering.

Etymology

Regular present participle formation of disgorge using -ing suffix, from Old English -ung.

Kelly Says

The -ing form stretches out the action, so 'disgorging' suggests ongoing, continuous ejection—reading 'the volcano is disgorging lava' makes you feel the explosive process unfolding in real time.
