sufficing

/səfˈaɪsɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of suffice

Word Origin Suffice comes from Latin sub- 'under' and facere 'to make, do' — originally 'to put under, substitute,' then 'to be enough.' Sufficing is the act of being sufficient. The facere root is incredibly productive: fact, factory, affect, perfect, and many more. So sufficing is 'making do' with what's under.
