Morphology

deblocking = deblock (semi-transparent) = deblock + ing

The noun is regularly formed from 'deblock', but understanding it depends on knowing the technical image-processing sense of the base verb.

Etymology

The word deblocking comes from the parts de- meaning 'remove' and block, which can mean a square piece that gets in the way of a smooth picture. So, in digital use deblocking is the process of removing those square 'blocks' or artifacts so images and videos look smoother.
