sonning
SaySUN-ing/ˈsʌnɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of son.
Note
A form built on the verb son rather than the noun, with the final n doubled before -ing, as in running. Both meanings of that verb are transitive, so this form needs an object: one is sonning a child into the world, or sonning a younger man by calling him "son". The second meaning carries an attitude of its own, a fatherly familiarity that the person addressed may welcome or resent.
