Why is a buliding call build+ing when it is already being built?

Question:

Answers:
Because.
Because construction rarely stops on buildings... they get repainted, repaired, remodeled and refinanced!
it is what it is
Because Stone Cold said so
I think it is because the etymology of the word building is such that it is derived from the Middle English era 1250–1300 in the form of 'byldinge'.
((Building)) has the 2 specific meanings:

1- A continuous verb , means the act is ongoing
2- A name of the completed structues

When we talk about a structure named ((building)) it has nothing to do with the verb
It is because the word build does not mean only a structure but alos means bolstering, strengthening, establising someting. So a structure which is constructed should build itself for stability. Hence building is an ongoing process that each and every construction passes through.
why is icing called so when it's still being ice-d
It is similar to 'clearing '(tract of land with few or no trees in the middle of a wooded area, )- area that is already cleared.
The suffix "ing" is added to verbs to form nouns. It is also used to form the present participle of the verb. In this context, "building" can be the activity currently in process or the result of that process. So I am building a small storage building. This is the short answer. "ing" has several meanings and uses beyound these.
