I believe the answer is:

gerund

(Other definitions for gerund that I've seen before include "item of grammar" , "Verb form functioning as a noun" , "Noun formed from a verb -- nudger (anag)" , "Noun formed from a verb - red gun (anag)" , "Verbal noun ending in 'ing'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
