sleeting

/slˈiɾɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of sleet

Word Origin Sleet comes from Proto-Germanic sliut- 'hail, sleet.' Sleeting is the falling of sleet — a mix of rain and snow. The same root might be related to slush and slide, suggesting something slippery. So sleeting is when the sky pelts you with half-frozen drops.
