Morphology
outflowing = outflow (transparent) = out + flow + ing
Formed by adding the productive participial suffix '-ing' to the verb 'outflow', producing the straightforward meaning 'flowing outward'.
Etymology
Outflowing comes from two simple parts: out, meaning 'away', and flow, meaning 'to move like water'. So something outflowing is moving away from its source in a steady stream.
