Morphology

blazing = blaze (transparent) = blaze + ing

Adjectival use formed by adding -ing to the verb 'blaze', producing the literal sense 'shining or burning brightly', which is directly derivable from the base.

Etymology

Blazing comes from the old word blaze, which meant 'flame' or very bright light, so it gives the strong image of burning light or heat — like the blazing sun or headlights.
