Morphology

podding = pod (transparent) = pod + ing

Formed from the verb 'pod' + '-ing' to denote the process or period of producing pods, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Podding comes from the simple word pod, which means 'a small case that holds seeds, like a pea pod'. So podding is the stage when plants make those pods and fill them with seeds.
