plumping
Making fuller, rounder
Plumping is making something fuller or rounder.
You plump a pillow by fluffing it, plump your lips with filler, or plump dried fruit by soaking it.
In cooking, plumping often refers to rehydrating raisins or other dried ingredients: Plump the raisins in warm brandy for twenty minutes.
In British elections, plumping means casting a single vote when you're entitled to multiple, concentrating support on one candidate.
