Is hedging a word????

Argument with friends - they say that hedging isn't a word. Ghost game help...

It isn't on any dictionary so they say I'm stupid, but I swear it's literally a financial term...

EDIT: The argument is settled, my challenger lost the letter.

"Hedging is an insurance-like investment that protects you from risks of any potential losses of your finances. Hedging is similar to insurance as we take an insurance cove to protect ourselves from one or the other loss. For example, if we have an asset and we would like to protect it from floods."

thank you! I keep showing it to them everywhere, but since whenever you search up "hedging define" and it only shows the definition for hedge they say I'm wrong.

It actually is in Oxford Dictionary when searching for "Hedging" , just a mouse click on "Translations and More definitions" The third definition is for the word "Hedging". It also is mentioned as questions people would ask.  Glad I could help ^w^
