Morphology

clothing = clothe (transparent) = clothe + ing

The word is transparently formed from 'clothe' + '-ing'; the avatar sense is a straightforward extension of garments.

Etymology

The word clothing comes from cloth ('cloth') and clothe ('to dress'), so it also grew to mean the items that 'dress' an avatar or character in a game. A helpful way to remember this is to think of virtual clothing as doing the same job of changing how someone looks, even when it is not physical.
