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 as a noun comes from hate + monger, with monger meaning 'seller' or someone who 'spreads' ideas, as in fishmonger or warmonger. So, hatemongering is the act of spreading or 'selling' hate in speech, writing, or actions.
