equaling

/ˈikwəɫɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of equal

Word Origin Equaling comes from Latin 'aequus' meaning level or even. The idea of equality is about making things level, like a balance scale. The same root gives us 'equator' (the line that divides the earth evenly), 'equity' (fairness), and 'adequate' (equal to what is needed). The PIE root *h₁ekʷ- meant 'even, level'.
