Perusing refers to the act of carefully reading or examining something, particularly written material. It implies a detailed and attentive approach to understanding the content, rather than just a quick or superficial glance. This term is often used in academic, professional, and literary contexts to describe the thorough and deliberate review of texts, reports, documents, or books.
