Morphology
invalidating = invalidate (transparent) = in + valid + ate + ing
The adjective is a straightforward participial form of the verb 'invalidate' and keeps the same core meaning of causing something to be invalid.
Etymology
The word invalidating comes from in- meaning 'not' and valid meaning 'strong' or 'accepted', the same root you see in value. So to invalidate something is to make it 'not accepted' or show it is not true, which is why an invalidating comment can weaken someone's confidence or make a law not valid.
