Morphology

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

The accounting sense 'existing at the start/ carried forward' is a specialized extension of 'going in' and may not be predictable to an average learner.

Etymology

Ingoing comes from the parts in- 'in' and going 'moving', and in accounting it means what is 'carried into' a new period. That's why an ingoing balance is the amount you start with at the beginning of the year.
