RFV discussion: August 2019
RFV adjective sense 2:


 * 2. That attends habitually or regularly.
 * 3. Current, prevailing.
 * The going rate for manual snow-shoveling is $25 an hour.

Need usage example(s) that show how sense 2 is distinct from sense 3. Mihia (talk) 00:23, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Oh yes, of course, thanks, I think you must be right. I have elaborated it. Whether this "going" is in itself an adjective seems to be another question. Mihia (talk) 11:13, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * In the agent noun the morpheme go is clearly a verb, so it is reasonable to interpret the going part of churchgoing as a participle of the verb . Compare  and ; hopefully no one will claim that in these compound adjectives the components loving and eating are adjectives.  --Lambiam 12:34, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. "church-going" means going to church (regularly), so it seems to be the (verbal) participle. I have moved it. Mihia (talk) 12:55, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * The citations, which are all of going with child/young, would seem to belong at go with or, possibly, go. Go with]] even has a usage example with going with child. All 3 defining words given also fall the substitution test in going with child. DCDuring (talk) 22:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
