LEVELLING Meaning and Definition

1. Levelling is a noun derived from the verb "to level" which refers to the act of making something flat, even, or equal in height or position. It is the process of creating a smooth and uniform surface or bringing different elements to the same level.

   In a physical sense, levelling often involves removing or adding soil, or using tools such as a level or a ruler to ensure that a surface is even and free from bumps or indentations. For example, levelling may be done in construction to prepare a site for building, or in gardening to create a level lawn or flowerbed.

   Levelling can also be used metaphorically to describe the process of making things equal or fair. It may involve addressing inequalities or disparities in terms of rights, opportunities, or social status. In this context, levelling is often associated with achieving a more egalitarian society or bridging the gap between different groups.

   Additionally, levelling can refer to the act of eliminating variations or differences in performance or achievement. This can apply to assessing and grading students' work, evaluating employees' performance in a workplace, or standardizing test scores. Levelling, in this sense, aims to provide a fair and consistent measure of individuals' abilities or accomplishments.

   In summary, levelling encompasses the act of making surfaces even or flat, equalizing conditions or opportunities, and addressing disparities or variations in achievement.

2. • Making flat or even; reducing to an equality of condition.

   • The act of reducing to a plane or flat surface; in surv., the art or operation of finding a horizontal line, or of ascertaining the differences of level between the various points in a survey.

Etymology of LEVELLING

The word "levelling" comes from the verb "level". The origin of "level" can be traced back to Middle English, where it was spelled "level" or "levelen".
