districting

- 1Present participle and gerund of district.
Lawmakers are districting the region according to the latest census data.
Districting the metropolitan area sparked fierce debate among local officials.
Note
Because the verb is transitive, this form usually brings its object along: lawmakers districting a region, or the districting of a county. As a gerund it can also stand alone as a noun for the whole job of dividing an area into districts. It comes only from the verb. The obsolete adjective district, meaning "harsh" or "stringent," never takes -ing and has no bearing on this word.
