Common Misspellings for OBLIGATING
Etymology of OBLIGATING
The word "obligating" is derived from the Latin verb "obligare", which is a combination of the prefix "ob-" (meaning "toward" or "to") and the verb "ligare" (meaning "to bind" or "to tie"). "Obligare" literally means "to bind or tie toward" something or someone. Over time, "obligate" evolved from this Latin verb to become a verb in English, meaning "to bind morally or legally" or "to put under a moral or legal obligation". The suffix "-ing" simply converts the verb "obligate" into its present participle form.
