Definition
Present participle of exorcise; the ongoing process of driving out or eliminating an evil spirit, demon, or negative force.
Etymology
From exorcise plus the present participle suffix -ing, which comes from Old English -ung and creates gerunds and present participles. This form allows us to describe actions in progress.
Kelly Says
The -ing form is so central to English that we often forget it's doing double duty—it can function as a gerund (noun: 'exorcising demons is dangerous') or as a participle (adjective: 'the exorcising priest'), which is a beautiful example of how English economy reuses forms!
