Morphology

foaming = foam (transparent) = foam + ing

A regular adjectival/participial formation from the verb 'foam' with the productive suffix '-ing'.

Etymology

Foaming comes from the simple word foam and the ending -ing; foam means 'a mass of small bubbles', like the white bubbles on beer, soap, or sea waves, so foaming describes a liquid that is covered in or producing those bubbles.
