curving
UK: ˈkɜːvɪŋ | US: ˈkɜːrvɪŋ
adj. having a smooth, bending shape or motion
n. the act or instance of bending or forming a curve
v. present participle of curve (to bend or cause to bend)
The word curving derives from the verb curve, which entered English in the late 15th century from Latin curvare ("to bend"), itself from curvus ("bent, crooked"). The suffix -ing is an Old English participial ending, used here to form the present participle or gerund. The morpheme curve retains its original Latin root meaning of bending, while -ing adds grammatical function, indicating ongoing action or state.
