Morphology

parking = park (semi-transparent) = park + ing

Morphologically derived from 'park' + '-ing' but extended metaphorically to reserving or temporarily hosting a domain name; recognizable form but a domain-specific meaning that may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

The word parking in computing borrows the same idea as a park: a safe place to leave something. So to 'park' a domain is like parking a car — you leave the name on a simple page until you are ready to use it.
