deading
SayDED-ing/ˈdɛdɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of dead.
Note
The -ing form of a verb that always takes an object: one is deading a circuit, a plan or a rumor, never simply deading. Its untagged uses overlap with deaden, meaning to stop something or drain it of force. The senses 'to kill' and 'to put an end to' are slang in both British and American speech. In careful prose, deadening or ending usually reads more naturally, while deading carries that slangy edge.
