Morphology

issuing = issue (transparent) = issue + ing

The word 'issuing' is transparently derived from the verb 'issue' by adding the gerund suffix '-ing'.

Etymology

Issuing comes from old Latin parts meaning 'to go out', ex- 'out' and ire 'to go', and is like the familiar word exit. So to issue something is to 'send it out' or give it from a source, which is why issuing means supplying or giving out official items like cards or passports.
