Morphology

effing = eff (transparent) = eff + ing

The verb meaning is directly derived from the euphemistic base 'eff' with the standard verbal/gerundial suffix -ing.

Etymology

Effing as a verb is made by using the letter 'F' ('eff') plus -ing as a polite stand-in for the rude verb 'f-word'. That rude verb means 'to have sex', so effing keeps the same meaning but sounds softer.
