Morphology

homeschooling = homeschool (transparent) = home + school + ing

A clear formation from 'home' + 'school' -> 'homeschool', with '-ing' forming the noun (gerund) describing the practice.

Etymology

The word homeschooling is formed from home ('at home') and school ('place for learning'), with -ing showing the action. So homeschooling means teaching and learning that happens at home instead of in a regular school.
