doings
UK: ˈduːɪŋz | US: ˈduɪŋz
n. activities or events, especially those considered noteworthy or typical of a person or group
n. (archaic) things done or actions performed
The word "doings" originates from the Old English verb "dōn" (to act or perform), combined with the present participle suffix "-ing" (indicating ongoing action) and the plural suffix "-s." It evolved in Middle English to denote actions or events collectively, often with a focus on notable or characteristic activities. The morphemes preserve their original spelling and function, making the word transparent in its construction.
