Morphology

bonding = bond (transparent) = bond + ing

The dental sense refers to the process/material of bonding and is directly derived from 'bond' (to join) plus the nominalizing '-ing'.

Etymology

Bonding comes from the old verb bind, which means 'to tie' or 'join things together'. In dentistry, bonding is like using strong glue to make the resin stick to the tooth, so the name reminds you it joins the material to the enamel.
