Morphology

decentralizing = decentralize (transparent) = de + central + ize + ing

The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'decentralize' and keeps the same core meaning of moving away from central control.

Etymology

Decentralizing comes from the parts de- meaning 'away from' and central meaning 'center'. So, decentralizing is about moving power, people, or tasks away from one center to many places so the system does not depend on a single place.
