Energizing

/ˈɛnərdʒaɪzɪŋ/ adjective, verb (present participle)

Giving or providing energy and enthusiasm; causing someone to feel invigorated and motivated (American spelling).

Etymology

From energize (American) + -ing (present participle suffix). American spelling maintains -ize throughout the conjugation, unlike British -ise forms.

Kelly Says

Whether you spell it 'energising' or 'energizing,' you're describing the same feeling, but the spelling choice reveals which English-speaking culture you belong to—vowels as cultural markers.
