Morphology

microprocessing = processing (semi-transparent) = micro + process + ing

The components suggest processing done with or by microprocessors, but the computing-specific sense is technical and not fully recoverable from the parts alone.

Etymology

Microprocessing combines micro- 'small' and processing 'to work on', and a good image is a tiny processor in your phone doing many jobs at once. So, microprocessing can mean using these small processors to run computing and data tasks.
