Dozening

/ˈdʌzənɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of 'dozen'; the act of grouping, arranging, or counting things in groups of twelve.

Etymology

From 'dozen' as a verb, adding the gerund suffix '-ing.' This represents the active process of organizing by twelves rather than the static state of being arranged in dozens.

Kelly Says

Dozening is the action in progress—like how 'counting' is what you do while 'counted' is the result. English gerunds (words ending in -ing) let you talk about the doing, not just the done!
