entstehend vs wachsend

growing

'wachsend' and 'entstehend' can both describe a development. The most important difference is the timing. 'wachsend' says that something already exists and is becoming larger, stronger, or more numerous. 'entstehend' says that something is only just beginning and taking shape. The words can be confused because both sound like change. If something is increasing, 'wachsend' fits. If something is newly emerging and still being built up, 'entstehend' is more precise.
