Note
A verb made from the trade: what a mason does with stone or brick becomes masoning, with the final n left single. Its object is the place or structure that gets the stonework built about, under or into it, as in masoning the riverbank. The verb keeps to building; the noun's other meaning, a Freemason, does not carry over to it.
