Morphology

energizing = energize (transparent) = energy + ize + ing

Formed by adding the regular -ing suffix to 'energize'; the participial/adjectival meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word energizing comes from energy, which traces back to the Greek energeia made of en- ('in') and erg- ('work'), so it originally meant 'in work' or active. That's why energizing describes something that 'gives energy' or makes you more active.
