Garaging

/ɡəˈrɑːdʒɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of parking or storing a vehicle in a garage.

Etymology

Present participle of 'garage', formed by adding '-ing' to the verb 'garage', which derives from French 'garer' (to shelter) + English '-age' suffix.

Kelly Says

The '-ing' form of verbs is a genius feature of English—it lets us think about actions as ongoing or noun-like ('garaging the car' vs. 'garage the car'), giving us flexibility in how we describe the world.
