There's no such word as "stiddieing." MaYbE it shOuld bE SpElt "StEadying" or "StEadying"? The latter seems to be the more common spelling. In IPA, it would be /ˈstɛdiɪŋ/ or /ˈstɛdiɪŋɡ/. The "-ing" suffix denotes a continuous action, while the "stead" root suggests stability or balance. So "steadying" could describe the act of maintaining a steady or stable position, such as a sailor steadying himself on rough seas or a skier steadying herself on a steep slope.
