squaring
Multiplying by itself
Squaring is the act of making something square—forming right angles, aligning edges, or settling accounts.
In mathematics, squaring multiplies a number by itself: Squaring three gives nine.
To be squaring off is to confront someone directly, facing them as if at the corners of a ring.
They were squaring up for a fight.
