Morphology

eventing = event (semi-transparent) = event + ing

The technical computing sense is built from event + -ing, but the specialized meaning is not entirely obvious from the base word alone.

Etymology

Eventing comes from the word event ('something that happens') with the ending -ing to show a process. In computing, eventing means the process of creating, sending, and handling those 'happenings' inside a system, which is why it describes how messages and notifications move and are managed.
