Etymology
The word 'joying' is an informal and rare formation from the noun 'joy', which has its roots in the Old French word 'joie' and the Latin word 'gaudia', meaning 'pleasure' or 'delight'. These terms have evolved through various linguistic influences over centuries. While 'joy' has been a part of the English vocabulary since the 13th century, expressing the feeling of great happiness, the verb 'joying' has not gained widespread acceptance in standard usage. In certain contexts, particularly in poetry or expressive writing, 'joying' may appear, capturing an active participation in the state of joy. Nevertheless, it's often replaced by more conventional verbs such as 'enjoying' or 'celebrating'. The usage of 'joying' can often evoke quaint or archaic sentiments, resonating with styles reminiscent of older forms of English.
