Morphology

annotating = annotate (transparent) = annotate + ing

Clear present-participle/gerund formation from 'annotate'; the domain-specific sense (labeling data) is an application of the general verb meaning, so the formation remains transparent.

Etymology

Annotating comes from the parts ad- 'to' and nota 'mark', the same root as the English word note. In data work, annotating means 'marking' or 'labeling' images, text, or audio so a computer can learn from those examples.
