Morphology

meshing = mesh (semi-transparent) = mesh + ing

The form is built from mesh + -ing, but this fabric sense is a somewhat lexicalized nominal use rather than a fully regular, productive derivation.

Etymology

Meshing comes from mesh, a word for 'net' or 'open fabric' with holes. So meshing can simply mean the net-like material of string, rope, or wire used to keep insects or animals out.
