Morphology

downgoing = go (transparent) = down + go + ing

Formed from 'down' + 'go' with adjectival '-ing'; meaning 'moving or trending downward' is directly deducible. [Postprocessing: moved 'down' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Downgoing is simply the parts down 'toward a lower level' and going 'moving', giving the image of something that is moving down. That's why downgoing is used for things that are decreasing or declining in amount or importance.
