Etymology

The word changing derives from the verb change, which entered Middle English from Old French changier (to alter), itself from Late Latin cambiare (to exchange or barter). The Latin root likely traces back to Gaulish kamb- (to bend or twist), reflecting the concept of transformation. The suffix -ing marks the present participle, indicating ongoing action or state. The morphemes combine logically: change (core action) + -ing (grammatical function).
