striding
Taking long steps
Striding is the present participle of stride, describing the action of walking with long, purposeful steps.
Someone striding across a room or down a street moves with confidence and determination, covering ground efficiently.
She came striding into the meeting five minutes late.
The word suggests energy and intent rather than casual movement—you stride toward something, not away from nothing in particular.
