Continuing to happen or develop, and not yet finished.
From "on" plus the present participle "going," combining the ideas of continuing and moving. It became common in modern English to describe processes that are still in progress.
Calling something "ongoing" is a gentle reminder that you’re catching it mid-story, not at the end. It’s a useful word in science, law, and news, where many things are always unfinished.
