Dressning

Dressning is not a standard English word. In practice, it is typically a misspelling of dressing, or a loanword in other languages. When encountered in English, it usually arises in one of two domains: medical wound care (dressing a wound) or personal attire (the act of dressing).

Wound dressing, or a dressing applied to injuries, serves to protect the wound, absorb exudate, and support healing. Materials range from simple sterile gauze and bandages to advanced products such as hydrocolloid or alginate dressings. Proper use includes clean hands, sterile technique, and following health-care guidance on change frequency and signs of infection.

In the context of clothing, dressing refers to choosing and wearing garments and accessories. It encompasses practical considerations such as weather and activity, as well as fashion, culture, and personal identity. The term can describe a one-time act (to dress) or the broader practice of styling and grooming.

Less commonly, "dressing" is used for sauces or toppings, as in salad dressing. Although "dressning" is not standard in English culinary usage, readers may encounter it as a misspelling in menus or recipes.
