Etymology: "Wolvering" is the word for the act of wolving, which is to say the practice of gathering or working with wolver, a term whose exact sense we can only infer from its parts. The source describes it as built from "wolver" plus the suffix "-ing", the ordinary English ending that turns a verb into a noun naming an action or its result. The formation is plain: a base word, then a suffix, with nothing more to unpack.
