Morphology

embedding = embed (transparent) = embed + ing

This is the literal physical sense of placing something firmly within surrounding material, directly derived from 'embed' + -ing.

Etymology

Embedding comes from the verb embed (from em- 'in' and bed 'place to rest'), originally meaning 'fixing into a bed'. That's why an embedding can mean placing something firmly within a material or document, like a photo set into a page.
