Morphology
blading = blade (semi-transparent) = blade + ing
Formed regularly from the verb 'blade' + -ing, but the verb sense 'to blade' (skate) is informal and less frequent, so learners may not reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Blading became common from the word blade, and it grew after the skate brand Rollerblade made inline skates popular. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the thin 'blade' under the skate that lets you roll and move, so blading means skating on inline skates for fun or exercise.
