Detoxicating

/dɪˈtɑksɪkeɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of removing toxic substances from something; the ongoing process of making something safe by eliminating poisons.

Etymology

Present participle of detoxicate, combining the verb stem with -ing to show continuous action. The formal medical version of the more common 'detoxifying.'

Kelly Says

In medical literature, doctors might write 'the detoxicating process takes several weeks,' but in conversation, most people say 'detoxifying' because it sounds more natural—English actually has both forms competing with each other.
