Morphology

gatewaying = gateway (transparent) = gate + way + ing

This is a regular -ing nominalization of the verb 'gateway', and the access meaning is directly built from the base form.

Etymology

Gatewaying comes from gate ('a door or entrance') and way ('a path'), giving the image of opening a door into something new. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone 'opening a gate' to let people into services or opportunities, so gatewaying means making access possible.
