featuring
- 1Present participle and gerund of feature.
The gallery is featuring works by emerging artists from across the region.
Featuring a redesigned engine, the latest model outperforms its predecessor.
Note
The -ing form does three jobs. It follows be in progressive tenses (is featuring new works), it opens a modifying phrase (featuring a redesigned engine), and it stands as a gerund wherever a noun could go. With the 'star, contain' meaning it takes a direct object; with the 'appear' meaning it takes none. The same spelling is also the music-credit noun, which alone can take a plural: featurings.
