Etymology: "Steadyings" is simply the plural of "steadying," so the real question is where "steadying" comes from. It is the form of "steady," used as a noun for the act of making something steady, and the plural marks more than one such act or instance. The "-ing" ending turns the adjective-based verb "steady" into a noun for the action, a pattern English has used for centuries.
