The word 'incense' is both a noun and a verb.

The noun 'incense' is a common, concrete, uncountable noun; a word for an aromatic substance; a word for a thing.

The verb 'incense' has two very different meanings:

  • to fill the air with aroma (as with incense);
  • to make someone very angry.

The noun form of the verb to incense (for both definitions) is the gerund, incensing.

When the incense stick is not ignited, the aromatic compounds remain solid and do not vaporize, so the fragrance does not spread.
