addressing

Dealing with directly

Addressing is the act of directing attention, speech, or writing toward someone or something.

When you address a crowd, you speak to them; when you address an envelope, you write the recipient's information on it.

The word also covers how you engage with problems or issues: We need to start addressing these complaints.

In computing, addressing refers to how data locations are identified and accessed in memory.
