Morphology

plumping = plump (semi-transparent) = plump + ing

Formed by adding the participial suffix '-ing' to 'plump'; the sense 'substantial/considerable' is related to 'plump' but shows a modest extension of meaning.

Etymology

The word plumping comes from the old word plump, which meant 'round' or 'full' and was used in the phrase 'plump up' to mean 'make fuller'. So a plumping amount is a pleasantly large or substantial one.
