Morphology

hostelling = hostel (transparent) = hostel + ing

The noun clearly refers to the activity of hostel-based travel, which is directly built from the verb 'hostel' with the productive '-ing' suffix.

Etymology

Hostelling comes from the word hostel, which goes back to the Latin hospes meaning 'guest' or 'host'. So hostelling means the activity of staying as a guest in simple, shared places while travelling, often to save money and meet new people.
