Morphology

patterning = pattern (transparent) = pattern + ing

Standard gerund/nominalisation from 'pattern' describing the act or process of creating patterns in manufacturing/technology.

Etymology

Patterning comes from pattern, a word that originally meant 'model' or 'guide', plus -ing. In manufacturing, patterning is making an exact 'layout' on a surface, like printing tiny circuits on a chip, so the name shows it is a careful, guided process.
