humidifying

Increasing air wetness

Humidifying is adding moisture to the air.

A humidifier humidifies a room by releasing water vapor, counteracting the dryness of heated indoor air in winter: The system humidifies the whole house.

The process can also apply to other enclosed spaces where humidity matters—greenhouses, cigar humidors, museum storage areas.
