The act of composing or performing deeds worthy of being immortalized in a geste; recording or narrating adventures.
From 'geste' combined with the progressive suffix '-ning' (an archaic form of '-ing'). This creates a verb describing the process of making something into a memorable deed or tale.
While almost never used today, 'gestening' would describe what bards did—they would literal 'geste-ify' ordinary adventures, turning them into legendary tales told around fires for centuries!
