Morphology
icing = ice (transparent) = ice + ing
Built from the verb 'ice' + '-ing' to denote the process or occurrence of ice forming, which is directly inferable from the base.
Etymology
Icing comes from ice, meaning 'frozen water', and it simply names the process of becoming covered with ice or frost. So icing on roads or aircraft is when a surface gets a dangerous layer of ice.
