Definition
Present participle of festoon; the act of decorating with festoons or garlands.
Etymology
From the verb 'festoon' plus the progressive suffix '-ing.' The verb form developed from the noun describing the action of applying festoon decorations to a space or object.
Kelly Says
Every December, millions of people go 'festooning'—draping lights and garlands—and they're participating in a practice so important that we gave it its own word.
