Morphology
effervescing = effervesce (transparent) = effervesce + ing
Standard present-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'effervesce', so the meaning 'bubbling/fizzing' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word effervescing comes from the Latin parts ex- meaning 'out' and fervescere meaning 'to boil up', so it gives the picture of something 'boiling out' with bubbles. That's why effervescing means 'bubbling' or 'fizzing', like tiny gas bubbles rising in a drink.
