jading
SayJAY-ding/ˈd͡ʒeɪdɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of jade.
The relentless schedule was jading even the veteran performers.
Jading the team with back-to-back deadlines slowly drained their energy.
Note
The -ing form drops the silent e of jade, just as make gives making. A relentless schedule can be jading performers, and jading a team names the act of wearing it down. The older senses, to spurn someone or to make them ridiculous, are obsolete, so today it means tiring out. Only the verb has this form; the green stone and the succulent plant are nouns.
