caring
UK: ˈkeərɪŋ | US: ˈkerɪŋ
adj. showing kindness and concern for others
n. the act of providing care or support
The word "caring" derives from the Old English "caru" (sorrow, anxiety, or serious attention), which evolved into the Middle English "care" (to feel concern or interest). The suffix "-ing" transforms the verb "care" into an adjective or noun, emphasizing the ongoing action or state of providing concern. The modern sense reflects a positive, nurturing attitude rather than its earlier association with worry.
