SayHAY-ting/ˈheɪtɪŋ/

2 meanings of hating

1
verb
Present participle and gerund of hate.
He spent the whole meeting hating the new schedule.
Hating her commute, she finally moved closer to the office.
Note
One spelling does two jobs: it builds the progressive (she was hating every minute) and serves as a verbal noun in subject or object position (hating takes energy). The phrasal hating on someone is informal slang, best kept out of formal writing. Unlike the noun meaning hatred, the gerund still takes a direct object (hating the schedule), where the noun needs a preposition (hating toward a rival).
