How to spell loving

What it means: Showing deep affection or care.

In a sentence: The loving puppy snuggled with his family. ▶

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as loveing or lovenig.

Same family: loved, lover, lovely, lovable, lovingly. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Loving comes from the Old English word "lufu" (love), which is related to Old High German "luba." The -ing ending here turns the verb "love" into an adjective that describes a person or action full of love.
