Morphology

networking = network (transparent) = network + ing

Formed by the verb 'network' (connect) plus -ing to denote the process or practice of making connections between devices.

Etymology

Networking in technology uses the same image of a net ('a web of threads') and work ('activity'), thinking of a web that joins devices so messages and files can travel. So networking is the process of connecting computers and devices so they can communicate and share data.
