Celebrating or honoring someone with a feast or festival; entertaining someone lavishly.
From French 'fête' (festival, feast) derived from Latin 'festa' (festival). The '-ing' suffix makes this the present participle, describing the ongoing action of celebrating.
Feting comes from the same root as 'fiesta' in Spanish—both emerging from Latin 'festa.' When you're feting someone, you're engaging in a tradition that stretches back to ancient Roman religious festivals!
