The word "scenting" is derived from the verb "scent". "Scent" comes from the Old French word "sentir", meaning "to perceive through the sense of smell". It can be traced back to the Latin word "sentire", meaning "to feel or sense". Over time, "sentire" in Latin evolved into "scentire" in Old French and eventually became "scent" in English. Therefore, "scenting" is the gerund form of "scent", which refers to the act of perceiving or detecting a smell.
