Morphology
hatemongering = hatemonger (semi-transparent) = hate + monger + ing
Adding '-ing' to 'hatemonger' is a regular and easily recognized derivation, though the base compound itself is only partly transparent.
Etymology
Hatemongering combines hate and monger, where monger originally meant a 'seller', like in fishmonger, and later came to mean someone who 'spreads' something, like in warmonger. So, to call speech hatemongering is to say it is 'selling' or spreading hate to others.
