Etymology of LAMENTING
The word "lamenting" is derived from the verb "lament".
The verb "lament" has its roots in the Latin word "lamentari", which means "to wail or moan". This Latin word is a combination of "lamentum", which means "a wail" or "a cry of grief", and the suffix "-ari", denoting the action of performing the verb.
The Latin word "lamentari" was adopted into Old French as "lamenter" and then into Middle English as "lamenten". Over time, "lamenten" evolved into "lament", which is still used as a verb to express sorrow, grief, or sadness, often through vocal expression or bewailing. The form "lamenting" is the present participle of the verb "lament", indicating ongoing or continuous action.
