Morphology
candling = candle (transparent) = candle + ing
Built from the verb 'candle' meaning 'to make/supply with candles' + -ing, so the process meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Candling also means the making of candles, from the same root cand- meaning 'to shine'; this word names the craft of building wax around a wick, for example by dipping the wick many times or pouring wax into a mold. So, candling is simply the process of making the things that will shine.
