loaning
Letting someone borrow
Loaning is the act of lending something to someone, with the expectation of its return.
The word functions as the present participle of loan: They're loaning us their car for the weekend.
Some usage guides insist on *lend* as the verb and *loan* as only a noun, but loaning has been standard for centuries.
