Treasureing

Treasureing is not a standard entry in contemporary English dictionaries. In published use it appears primarily as a misspelling of treasuring, the present participle of treasure, or as a nonstandard variant of the noun treasure. Because there is no widely accepted definition, “treasureing” does not have a recognized, separate sense in formal language.

If encountered as a verb, the intended sense would be derived from to treasure: to value greatly, to cherish, or to preserve something as valuable. The correct modern form is treasuring.

In practical usage, treasuring is used with reference to affection for people, memories, or time, for example, treasuring every moment. In other contexts, treasure functions as a noun for valuable objects, or as a verb meaning to store or hoard valuables by safeguarding them or making arrangements to keep them secure.

Because of its status as a rare or erroneous form, readers should rely on treasuring or treasure depending on meaning and revise instances of treasureing accordingly during editing.
