Feazing

/ˈfiːzɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of feaze; the action of twisting, unraveling, or troubling.

Etymology

From feaze plus the gerund/present participle suffix -ing (Old English '-ing' and '-ung'), forming a noun or progressive verb form from the base verb.

Kelly Says

The -ing form is one of English's most versatile suffixes—it can make feaze into a noun ('feazing is annoying'), a verb ('I'm feazing the rope'), or an adjective ('a feazing problem'), showing how one suffix does triple duty.
