Flannelling

/ˈflænəlɪŋ/ verb

Definition

British spelling of flanneling; wrapping or covering with flannel, or speaking evasively.

Etymology

British variant of flanneling, retaining the double-L before adding the -ing suffix according to British spelling conventions.

Kelly Says

The double-L in British 'flannelling' mirrors how British spelling preserves letter doubling from base words—compare 'travelling' vs American 'traveling'—a consistency rule that matters more in British English.
