    verb
    Present participle and gerund of discuss.

    The committee is discussing the new budget proposal this morning.

    After discussing the matter at length, they finally reached an agreement.

    Note

    One -ing form doing two jobs: after a form of be it builds the progressive (the committee is discussing the budget), and as a verbal noun it fills a noun's slot (after discussing the matter). Because discuss is transitive, the topic follows directly: discussing the plan, never discussing about the plan. Older texts can use it for shattering something or dispersing a swelling, senses now obsolete.
