Enduing

/ɛnˈdjuɪŋ/ verb

Etymology

From 'endue' with the present participle '-ing' suffix (from Old English '-ing'), following standard English gerund formation.

Kelly Says

The -ing form keeps archaic 'endue' alive in poetic and formal contexts—you'll find 'enduing with grace' in hymns and liturgical writing, where the form itself carries spiritual weight.
