cherishing

/ˈtʃɛɹɪʃɪŋ/ noun

The act by which somebody or something is cherished.

Word Origin Cherishing comes from Latin 'cārus' 'dear, beloved' — so to cherish is to hold something dear. The same root gives us 'charity' (originally 'dearness, love') and 'caress' (a loving touch). The -ing suffix makes it a noun of action: the ongoing act of treasuring. The PIE root *ka- 'to like, desire' also appears in 'caress' and 'charity.'
