the act of causing something to go (especially messages)
"I am sending you a detailed report via email so we can review it before the meeting tomorrow."

In plain English: Sending is the act of transmitting something to another person or place.

Usage: Use this noun to refer specifically to the transmission of an item, such as mail or data, rather than general communication like letters or messages. It functions grammatically only in contexts describing physical dispatch or digital transfer processes.
present participle of send
"She was sending a text to her friend while waiting for the bus."
In plain English: Sending means to make something go from where you are to another place or person.
"She is sending her brother an email to ask about his weekend plans."
Derived from Old English sendan, meaning "to dispatch" or "cause to go," sending is the present participle of that verb used in Modern English. It retains the original sense of transmitting something or someone to another location.
