levelling
Creating uniform surface
Levelling is the British spelling of leveling.
To level is to make flat or even: They spent the morning levelling the ground for the patio.
In gaming, levelling up means advancing to a higher rank or skill tier.
Levelling can also mean directing something straight at a target: She was levelling accusations at the whole department.
