How Do You Spell GRAVELING?

Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈavəlɪŋ] (IPA)

Graveling is not a commonly used word in English, but it is a legitimate variant of the more common spelling, "groveling." The /r/ sound in "groveling" is sometimes pronounced as a /ɹ/ sound, which can then be spelled as an "a" in certain dialects. So, "groveling" becomes "graveling." The IPA transcription of "graveling" would be /ˈɡrævəlɪŋ/, with the stress on the second syllable. Despite being a valid spelling, "graveling" is not recommended for formal writing.

GRAVELING Meaning and Definition

  1. Graveling, also spelled as groveling, is a verb that refers to the act of behaving in a subservient, humble, or degrading manner. It involves lowering oneself in a submissive and intense manner, often with the intent of seeking forgiveness or favor from someone else.

    When a person is gravelling, they typically express extreme humility by bending their body or kneeling before another person, figuratively or literally prostrating themselves. This action is often accompanied by pleading, begging, or groveling for forgiveness, mercy, or help. The individual may use self-deprecating language, flattery, or exaggerated praise to elicit sympathy or special treatment from the other person.

    Graveling is usually seen as submissive and demeaning behavior because it involves sacrificing one's self-respect and dignity. It can be driven by fear, guilt, or a genuine desire to rectify a situation or restore a relationship. The term may also be used metaphorically to describe someone who is excessively submissive or obedient, lacking assertiveness or self-confidence in their actions or decisions.

    In summary, graveling refers to the act of behaving submissively, often by expressing intense humility and seeking forgiveness or favor from another person. Although it can be seen as a way to seek reconciliation or rectify a situation, it often involves sacrificing one's self-respect and can be deemed demeaning.
