pouching
Forming a pouch
Pouching is the act of putting something into a pouch or pocket, or forming something into a pouch-like shape.
In hunting and poaching contexts, it means concealing game in a bag.
In tailoring, fabric pouches when it billows or sags loosely: The blouse was pouching at the waist.
Pouching also describes the way pelicans and similar birds store fish in their throat sacs.
