Morphology

gating = gate (semi-transparent) = gate + ing

Formed from the verb 'gate' + -ing, but the signal-processing/neuroscience sense is a technical extension that may not be obvious to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Gating comes from the word gate, which once meant an 'opening' or 'path', and you can picture it like a door that lets some signals in and keeps others out, so gating is the process of controlling the flow of information or sounds.
