Edging is something that forms an edge or border. Think of the strip of grass along a path, the lace sewn around a cloth, the thin tiles around a mirror, or a line of flowers around a garden bed. It is the finishing border, not the main thing in the middle. people, , and people who fix up a house use it as a quiet, practical noun. The same spelling is also the -ing form of the verb edge: “edging toward the door” means moving there little by little. That is the same family, used as an action rather than as a thing you can point to. The border meaning is the one this entry is for; the slow-moving meaning is just sitting next to it in real English.
