Wheeling
West Virginia city
Wheeling is the gerund of the verb wheel and a noun in its own right.
When you wheel something, you move it on wheels: We wheeled the baby carriage into the restaurant.
In this use, wheeling is similar to pushing.
Wheeling is most frequent in the phrase wheeling and dealing, which is a slightly derogatory way of characterizing the actions of people who are making deals for profit: He earned his millions through a combination of wheeling and dealing.
