Enthronising

/ɪnˈθroʊnaɪzɪŋ/ verb, noun

Definition

British spelling variant of enthronizing; the present participle or gerund form of enthronise (placing on a throne).

Etymology

From enthronise plus -ing suffix. The 's' is retained before -ing in British spelling, unlike American convention.

Kelly Says

Notice how British English keeps the 's' in 'enthronising' while American would drop it to 'enthronizing'—one more tiny difference in the transatlantic English divide.
