While it's primarily used as a suffix to form present participles (like "walking," "running," etc.), it can also be a stand-alone word meaning "stopping" or "controlling."
For example:
* "The doctor put a tourniquet on the patient's arm to stop the bleeding." Here, "stopping" is implied by the use of "ing".
However, it's important to note that using "ing" in this way is quite informal and might not be appropriate in all contexts.
