enqueueing
Adding to queue
Enqueueing is the act of adding something to a queue—a waiting line or ordered list.
The term appears most often in computing, where data structures called queues process items in the order they arrived: The system is enqueueing requests faster than it can handle them.
Also spelled enqueuing.
