Etymology: "Gamings" is the plural of "gaming," so it is the form you use when referring to several distinct instances of playing games. "Gaming" itself is the present participle and gerund of "game," built from the Old English "gamen," meaning amusement, sport or play. The same root gave English "game" in its general sense of a contest or pastime, and the suffix "-ing" turns the verb into a noun for the activity.
Synonyms: playing, gaming, gaming activities
Antonyms: working, studying
