Morphology

ingoing = going (transparent) = in + go + ing

The prefix 'in-' adds the clear meaning 'inward' to the participial adjective 'going'.

Etymology

Ingoing comes from the parts in- 'in' and going 'moving', so it literally means 'going in'. That's why it describes things that move inward, like air, mail, or shipments.
