Morphology

barebacking = bareback (transparent) = bare + back + ing

The compound 'bareback' (bare + back) literally denotes an exposed back on a horse; adding -ing forms the action 'riding without a saddle', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

Barebacking comes from bare 'without covering' and back 'the horse's back', so it literally means riding with nothing between you and the horse. That's why barebacking describes riding a horse without a saddle.
