Word origin
The word 'steadying' originates from the verb 'steady', which came into English in the early 16th century. It is derived from the Old English word 'stede', meaning 'place' or 'position'. Over time, the word evolved to encompass notions of stability and firmness. The suffix '-ing' was later added to create the present participle form, 'steadying', which is commonly used to describe actions or feelings that bring a sense of calm or stability.
