Morphology

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

Formed by adding -ing to the verb 'energize' to create a gerund/noun; the meaning 'the act of making more energetic' is a standard deverbal noun.

Etymology

The noun energizing comes from the verb energize and the same Greek root energeia ('in work' from en- 'in' + erg- 'work'), so it means the act or process of 'making someone or something more active' or supplying energy.
