Present-participle/adjectival '-ing' added to the verb 'conceal' yields an adjective meaning 'hiding' which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Concealing comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and celare 'to hide', so imagine putting things together out of sight like when you 'hide' them. That's why concealing describes something that hides or covers what you do not want seen.
