Morphology
perambulating = perambulate (transparent) = perambulate + ing
The present participle '-ing' forms directly from the verb 'perambulate', so the meaning 'walking' is clearly derived from the base verb.
Etymology
Perambulating comes from the Latin parts per- 'through' and ambulare 'to walk', the same root you see in amble, so it literally means 'walking through' and explains why it means strolling around slowly or without a clear plan.
