Morphology

preprocessing = preprocess (transparent) = pre + process + ing

This is a regular noun in -ing built from the verb 'preprocess' and means the act or process of doing it.

Etymology

Preprocessing comes from pre- meaning 'before' and the root process meaning 'a set of steps to work on something'. So preprocessing is the small work you do to data or material before you use or study it, like washing and cutting ingredients before cooking.
