The word "begging" has a double "g" due to the rules of English spelling, particularly the doubling of consonants. When a one-syllable word ends in a single vowel followed by a single consonant, and a suffix starting with a vowel (like -ing) is added, the final consonant is often doubled to maintain the short vowel sound. In this case, "beg" becomes "begging" to keep the "e" short.
