Etymology
Present participle of 'frill' used as a noun, created in the 16th-17th centuries as 'frill' became established. '-ing' forms can function as nouns (gerunds) to describe activities or collections of objects.
Kelly Says
The '-ing' form is incredibly versatile in English—'frilling' can be a verb form (she is frilling the dress), a noun for the activity (she specializes in frilling), or a noun for the product (the frilling on this dress). One word, three grammatical functions.
