Morphology

instancing = instance (transparent) = instance + ing

Derived by adding the gerund/nominalizing suffix '-ing' to the verb 'instance'; the meaning 'the act of giving an example' follows standard English formation.

Etymology

Instancing comes from instance, a word whose root means 'to stand', like the simple English word stand, so an instance is a single thing that 'stands' as an 'example'. So instancing is the act of giving an example to show or explain something.
