Morphology

fragging = frag (transparent) = frag + ing

In gaming contexts the verbal sense of 'frag' is extended to in-game killing, and the gerund 'fragging' denotes that action; the derivation is straightforward.

Etymology

Fragging in video games keeps the same root. The short word frag became gamer slang for 'kill', so in shooter games fragging means 'killing or defeating an opponent'.
