squiring
Acting as escort
Squiring is escorting or attending to someone, originally in the manner of a squire serving a knight.
The word now typically describes accompanying someone, especially a woman, in a courtly or protective manner: He spent the evening squiring her around the party.
The term carries a slightly old-fashioned, gentlemanly connotation.
