ASCENDING Meaning and
Definition
-
Ascending is an adjective that denotes the action or process of moving upwards, increasing in height, or rising in level or order. It refers to anything that is moving from a lower position to a higher one, either physically or metaphorically.
In the literal sense, ascending is often used to describe the act of climbing stairs, scaling a mountain, or going up slopes, hills, or elevations. It signifies a progressive movement towards a taller or more elevated position. This term can also describe an object or structure that exhibits an upward slope or incline.
Beyond its physical implications, ascending can have metaphorical connotations as well. It is frequently employed to describe a progression in hierarchy or rank, as in the ascension of an individual to a higher position of authority or power. It can also refer to the increase or improvement of something over time, such as ascending grades in an academic curriculum or the ascending value of stocks in the financial market.
Moreover, ascending can denote a rising order or sequence. For instance, when referring to numerical or alphabetical series, it indicates a progression from the smaller or lower values or letters to the larger or higher ones. In music, it signifies an upward movement of pitch in a melodic line.
In essence, ascending encompasses the ideas of upward movement, growth, progression, and advancement, both in physical and abstract contexts.

Etymology of ASCENDING
The word "ascending" is derived from the Latin word "ascendere", which is a combination of "ad" meaning "to" and "scandere" meaning "to climb".
