Morphology

posting = post (transparent) = post + ing

This is a regular deverbal noun built from 'post' + '-ing', and the meaning 'something posted publicly' is straightforward.

Etymology

Posting comes from fastening a notice to a post, with post meaning 'pole', so a posting is a public message put up for everyone to see.
