Grecing

/ˈɡreɪsɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The present participle of 'grece'; the act of making steps or degrees, or in archaic usage, relating to grace.

Etymology

From 'grece' (step/degree) plus the present participle suffix '-ing' (from Old English '-ung'), forming a verbal noun or continuous action.

Kelly Says

This is one of those words that's so archaic it barely appears in modern texts, which means when you do encounter 'grecing' in medieval literature, it's a genuine window into how people described movement and progress centuries ago.
