The word 'meaning' is the present participle, present tense of the verb to mean. The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective and a gerund (a verbal noun).

Examples:

He was meaning to call her. (verb)

It was a well meaning gesture. (adjective)

The meaning is not clear. (noun)
