Morphology

coinciding = coincide (transparent) = coincide + ing

A straightforward adjectival/present-participle formation from the verb 'coincide'; meaning is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

Coinciding comes from Latin parts co- 'together' and incidere 'to fall', and it shares the same 'fall' idea you see in the word cascade. So, to coincide is to 'fall together', which is why coinciding means happening at the same time.
