We can talk about somethings "evenness" but can we talk about the process of making something even or "even(n)ing" something . I only see evening, the hour before darkness. There appears to be no even(n)ing?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this topic. -Belles

What an interesting question! I had never ever considered it.

"I've heard people talking informally and saying "the floor needs eve(n)ing out." or something similar, but I'm not sure the word actually does exist in this context! That's fascinating!
