liming
This term is primarily technical, used within agriculture, construction, and leather production. It describes a chemical or protective treatment using calcium oxide or hydroxide. In a gardening context, it is a corrective measure to neutralize acidic soil, whereas in architecture, it refers to a traditional breathable coating for masonry.
As a noun, the word functions as a gerund describing a process. It is typically treated as an uncountable noun when referring to the general practice or the chemical process itself, though it can be used countably when referring to specific instances or stages of the process in an industrial sequence.
Meanings
The process of treating a surface, such as a wall or a building, with a lime-based wash or plaster.
