- 1Present participle and gerund of disc.

Note
Disc simply adds -ing, without the extra k that panic takes in panicking. After be the form shows work under way (the farmer was discing the stubble); as a gerund it names the job (discing comes before planting). It serves both verb meanings: working soil with a disc harrow, and swinging propeller blades to zero pitch so they face the airflow and brake the aircraft.
