Morphology

progging = progg (transparent) = progg + ing

Etymology

Progging probably comes from an old craft verb meaning 'to push or pull through'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of prod or prick, simple actions of pushing into cloth, because progging is the slow work of pulling strips of fabric through a backing to make a rag rug.
