'adorning' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'prominent feature to fill in parisian gear' is the wordplay.
'prominent feature' becomes 'chin' (I've seen this before).
'to fill' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'in parisian' becomes 'en' ('in' in French).
'gear' becomes 'rig' (rig is a kind of gear).
'en'+'rig'='enrig'
'chin' inserted within 'enrig' is 'ENRICHING'.

(Other definitions for enriching that I've seen before include "Increasing the wealth" , "Improving" .)
