Auding (verb) Definition: A modern word that means listening to a book, especially in audiobook form, as a way of experiencing the story. It’s the audio-based counterpart to reading. If reading is for your eyes, auding is for your ears. Coined from the word audio + the suffix -ing (like reading), auding gives the act of listening to a book its own identity—because it’s just as valid, immersive, and real. Submitted by: J.R. DesJardins Origin: From “audio” + “reading” = auding, coined to describe the act of consuming books through listening.
