Note
A form that carries both halves of the verb, so the object decides the meaning. In James Oliver Curwood's Kazan (1914), fresh blood is crimsoning a tawny hide: that is the transitive "redden." In Frederick Palmer's Over the Pass (1912), a face is simply crimsoning: that is the intransitive "blush." To tell them apart, look for a direct object. With one, something is being stained; without one, something is turning red.
crimsoning is a form of crimson
crimson, verb: To turn crimson or deep red, especially as the face does when blushing. Full entry
