Definition
The act or process of becoming or making something harsh, rough, or severe.
Etymology
From 'harshen' plus the continuous '-ing' suffix, indicating an ongoing or progressive action. Follows standard English verb conjugation.
Kelly Says
This -ing form is perfect for describing gradual changes like 'the harshening tone of her voice' or 'the harshening climate conditions'—it emphasizes the process of becoming harsher.
