faring
Managing through circumstances
Faring is a form of the verb fare, meaning to get along or manage: How are you faring with the new job?
It appears most often in questions about how someone is doing or in descriptions of how well or poorly things are going: The company was faring badly in the recession.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone compared to simply asking how someone is doing.
