Note
The -ing form keeps the final y of remedy and simply adds the suffix. The verb is transitive, so both uses carry a direct object: workers are remedying a defect, and remedying neglect can stand as a subject. When you want a noun, English already has remedy itself (a remedy for the defect). The gerund names the act of fixing, while the noun names the fix.
