Note
One spelling hides two verbs. Besides the participle of quitting, surrendering or submitting, resigning is sometimes written to mean re-signing, or signing again. That use is proscribed. Write re-signing, with the hyphen, whenever you mean a fresh signature, because resigning a contract and re-signing it are near opposites. As a gerund the form works as a noun: Resigning was her only option.
