"Stockinging"? 86.164.188.106 18:28, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- That is not a word. It would be helpful to have and image of noun sense 3 of "stocking", for the first two are fairly straightforward. --75.71.229.53 23:35, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Material for stockings (as far as I can tell). 1865, The Youth's magazine, or Evangelical miscellany (page 62): "When I was a young man, matter of two or three and twenty, I'd saved two or three pounds, for stockinging was uncommonly good when we were at war with Napoleon, so I thought I'd go to see my friends at Market Harborough." But it seems extremely rare, perhaps a nonce word. Equinox ◑ 02:49, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
