Detecting and putting on record (6)
I believe the answer is:
noting
This might be a double definition.
'detecting' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'putting on record' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noting that I've seen before include "Observing or taking down" , "Making brief record as memory aid" , "Recording in writing" , "Paying close attention to something" , "Seeing" .)
