Morphology

detraining = detrain (semi-transparent) = de + train + ing

The suffix '-ing' indicates the action of detraining, but the specific context of disembarking from a train is not immediately obvious.

Etymology

Detraining comes from the prefix de- meaning 'off' and train meaning the railway vehicle, so it literally means 'getting off the train' and you can remember it like deplane for planes.
