signing
Putting pen down
Signing is the act of writing one's signature, especially to authorize or agree to something: The signing of the contract took place at noon.
A signing is also an event where an author or celebrity signs items for fans: a book signing.
Separately, signing refers to communication through sign language: She learned signing to talk with her deaf students.
