Morphology

corresponding = correspond (transparent) = correspond + ing

The adjective is directly built from the verb 'correspond' with the participial suffix '-ing', and the meaning 'matching' is straightforward.

Etymology

Corresponding comes from two parts: cor- ('together' or 'with') and respond ('answer'), the same root as the common verb respond. So, when things are corresponding they 'answer' each other — they match or are in the same position or role.
