Morphology

mounting = mount (transparent) = mount + ing

A standard nominalization from the verb 'mount' with '-ing' indicating the thing used for mounting or the result of mounting, which is clear to learners.

Etymology

The word mounting comes from the verb mount, which first meant 'to climb' and is the same root as mountain. Later mount also came to mean 'to put something on a support', so mounting is the frame or backing that holds or shows an object.
