belongings = belonging (transparent) = belong + ing + s
The word is the regular plural of the noun 'belonging' (possession); adding -s yields 'belongings' meaning multiple possessions.
Etymology
Belongings comes from the verb belong, which is formed from be- meaning 'to be' and long meaning 'along' or 'with'. Think of your belongings as the things that 'go along with' you or are 'with' you, which is why they are the things that belong to you.
