Definition
Present participle of 'elapse'; the ongoing process of time passing or moving forward.
Etymology
English gerund/present participle form created by adding '-ing' to the verb stem 'elapse,' following standard English morphological rules.
Kelly Says
The '-ing' form of 'elapse' is interesting because it turns a moment of slipping away into a continuous process—'elapsing time' emphasizes the ongoing flow rather than a completed passage.
