Morphology

emerging = emerge (transparent) = emerge + ing

The adjective is directly formed from the verb 'emerge' with the participial suffix '-ing', denoting something coming into existence or notice.

Etymology

Emerging comes from the Latin emergere, made of e- 'out' and mergere 'to dip', so imagine something rising out of water. You can also see the same root in submerge 'to put under water', and that's why an emerging technology or leader is one that is just 'starting to appear or become important'.
