Grammatically, it is genitive plural of degens -ntis, which is present participle of the verb dego. To my mind the guess of Péter is right, but I don't agree that using just "degere" is not classical, because we find it in Horace and Plautus.

Aetatem/vitam degere, or in non classical Latin also just degere (dego, degere, degi) means "to live".
