Verbing: v
1. Taking a word that is not a verb and turning it into a verb by adding -ing to the end.
Comes from the latin word "verb" meaning "an action" and the root "-ing" meaning "making the word infront of it a verb."
1) I decided that the word verb needed to under go a verbing to create the word verbing so I could use it to describe the process that the word verb just under went.
2) I felt sorry for the word "strong" since it was but a mere adjective so I decided to make it a verb but making it undergo the process of verbing thus making it the verb "stronging."
