saving
Keeping for later
Saving conveys rescuing (the paramedics are saving the accident victim) and conservation (the principal is saving money by hiring newer teachers).
It is also routinely used in sports (the goalie is saving the game) and computing (saving a data backup).
The participle saving has a minor role as a preposition or a conjunction in formal writing, where it means the same thing as except.
