Why is a building still called a building after its construction not builtding?

Question

It deals with logic and critical thinking

Answer 1

See you are dutch, otherwise you would call it a buildthing.
I don't think they call it a building when it is still under construction. They refer to it as 'the building under construction' or as 'the building being build'. Only after completion of the construction it is called a building. As to why they call a building a building, it is the same as asking why they call a garden a garden and not a gardening. Language isn't allways logical, it was devellopped before people could do math.

Answer 2

Yours is philosophy...why is a fetus considered a living human being before it is even born? We could go on and on, but I won't. Nice try though! Builtding....hmmm! I like it! Why not! Someone call Webster's...!

Answer 3

For me , it simply keeps the original text for thought which helps the mind associate the similar and non. as, this is a feeling. this is a building. the extended terminology comes after a desire to further explain the existence of things we build.

Answer 4

your never done with a building your always fixing /building on it .or it is the same reson phone starts with a p not a f .

Answer 5

Why is it called construction when they begin with destruction?

Answer 6

"building" in this case is a noun, not a verb.
Just because it has an -ing suffix doesn't mean that it is "in progress."

Answer 7

mmm good question...cause thats the way it has always been and it would take an act of congress to change it....

Answer 8

Not sure. Why do they call it a "near miss" when it's really a "near hit"?

Answer 9

I like your thinking.
