Surface Forms

cellaring singular
cellarings plural

Morphology

cellaring = cellar (semi-transparent) = cellar + ing

The form is built regularly from the verb 'cellar' plus '-ing', but the inventory sense is specialized rather than fully predictable for all learners.

Etymology

Cellaring comes from cellar, a cool room for storing food or wine, and the ending -ing, so it can mean the 'collection' or stock of bottles kept in that room.
