bating
Not including something
Bating is most commonly encountered as a preposition meaning "except for" or "excluding," though it sounds old-fashioned or literary today: Bating a few minor errors, the manuscript was ready for publication.
It derives from abate in its sense of setting aside or leaving out.
In specialized contexts, bating refers to a step in leather processing where hides are softened using enzymes, or to a falconry term for a hawk beating its wings in agitation.
