Morphology

jogging = jog (transparent) = jog + ing

The meaning is directly derived from the verb 'jog' with the standard noun/gerund suffix '-ing', so learners who know 'jog' can predict 'jogging'.

Etymology

Jogging comes from the verb jog, which once meant a small shake or nudge and later came to mean 'move with short, steady steps'. Think of the common phrase 'jog someone's memory' as a small push. That's why jogging now means a slow, steady run for exercise.
