waxing~ Wax as an intransitive verb means to grow in size, where as wane means to shrink in size. In terms of moon phases, waxing means getting fuller, going towards a full moon.

Waning-

Waning is the opposite, getting thinner, going towards a new moon.

If you're talking about the moon's phases it is new moon, crescent moon, half moon, gibbous moon, and full moon. Waning is full moon, gibbous moon, half moon, crescent moon, and new moon.

When the moon is waxing it is becoming more fully lit by the sun. It waxes to a full moon and then wanes to a sliver.

Those are called the "phases" of the Moon. The Moon can be "full", meaning we can see all of the sunlit hemisphere. It can be "new", meaning we can't see any of it in sunlight.
