Etymology of DISCONTINUING

The word "discontinuing" is derived from the combination of two words: "discontinue" and the suffix "-ing".

The word "discontinue" originated from the Latin word "discontinuare", which is a combination of the prefix "dis-" (meaning "lack of", "not", or "apart from") and the verb "continuare" (meaning "to continue" or "to keep on").

The addition of the suffix "-ing" transforms the verb "discontinue" into a present participle, thereby forming the word "discontinuing". The use of this form indicates an ongoing or continuous action of the verb, denoting that the process of discontinuing something is actively in progress.
