Etymology of SLOWING
The word "slowing" is derived from the verb "slow", which can be traced back to the Old English word "slāw". In Old English, "slāw" meant "inactive" or "indolent". It is believed to come from the Proto-Germanic word "slawaz", which had a similar meaning. Over time, "slow" evolved to mean "not fast" or "taking more time than usual". The addition of the suffix "-ing" transforms the verb "slow" into the present participle "slowing", which denotes the ongoing or continuous action of becoming slower.
