Morphology

manifolding = manifold (semi-transparent) = manifold + ing

Formed regularly from the adjective 'manifold' plus '-ing' to denote the state or quality of being manifold, but the adjective is somewhat formal and may be unfamiliar to some learners.

Etymology

Manifolding also comes from many ('many') and fold ('fold'), so think of something that is 'many-fold', like the familiar word twofold. That's why manifolding can mean a great variety or having many different kinds.
