matrixing = matrix (opaque) = matrix + ing
Although the form is 'matrix' plus '-ing', this specialized sense of perceiving patterns in unrelated data is not a standard or readily guessable extension for most learners.
Etymology
Matrixing comes from matrix, a Latin word meaning 'womb' or 'source', from mater 'mother'. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think of matrixing as finding a hidden 'form' or 'pattern' that seems to give shape to random or unclear images.
