2. 2
   verb

   Present participle and gerund of garage.

   He is garaging the truck for the night before the frost sets in.

   Garaging the vintage roadster has kept its bodywork in pristine condition.

   Note

   The silent e of garage drops before the suffix, as it does in most verbs of this shape. The form does two jobs: after be it builds the progressive (he is garaging the truck), and on its own it heads a gerund phrase that keeps a direct object (garaging the roadster). That object separates it from the noun for the act, which takes of instead and can be pluralized as garagings.
