    Note

    One -ing form carries all three verb uses of margin, and each takes a direct object. You can be margining a page (giving it a border), margining notes (writing them beside the text), or margining securities (trading them on collateral). As a gerund it is most at home in finance, where it names the practice of trading on collateral. Context, not form, tells the three apart.
