manufacturingadj.

Brit. /ˌmanjᵿˈfaktʃərɪŋ/, U.S. /ˌmæn(j)əˈfæktʃərɪŋ/, /ˌmæn(j)əˈfækʃ(ə)rɪŋ/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: manufacture v., -ing suffix2.
Etymology: < manufacture v. + -ing suffix2.In many cases it is difficult to distinguish examples of the adjective from attributive examples of manufacturing n., especially where the noun modified does not denote a personal agent, but can be conceived in terms of personal agency, e.g. town , country , industry , labour . In earlier use, such examples are generally best interpreted as the adjective, but by the end of the 19th cent. they are predominantly perceived as attributive examples of the noun in the sense ‘the sector of the economy engaged in industrial production’ (see quots. 17761, a1850 and compare quots. 1959, 1977, 1991 at manufacturing n. Compounds 1); hence it is now almost impossible to say with certainty that the adjective is being used except where the noun modified denotes a personal agent directly engaged in the action of making something.
That manufactures something, esp. goods for sale.
