Morphology

lotting = lot (transparent) = lot + ing

Formed by the verb 'lot' + the productive gerund/nominalizing suffix '-ing', making the action or process clear.

Etymology

Lotting comes from the old word lot, meaning 'share' or 'group', as in an auction 'lot' or a lottery, so grouping items into lots means putting them into 'shares' or batches for sale or trade.
