Morphology

modeling = model (transparent) = model + ing

Standard deverbal nominalization: the verb 'model' + '-ing' yields a noun denoting the action or process.

Etymology

Modeling comes from the word model, which goes back to the Latin modulus meaning 'small measure' or 'pattern'. A model is like a small, measured copy or plan you make to test ideas, so modeling is the act of making that copy or plan.
