Morphology

judging = judge (transparent) = judge + ing

A standard gerund/nominalization formed from the verb 'judge', meaning 'the act or process of judging', which is directly derivable from the base verb.

Etymology

Judging comes from the old noun judge, from Latin parts ius 'law' and dicere 'to say', a root you also see in justice. So to judge is to 'say' what the law or decision should be, and judging is the process of forming that decision.
