Morphology

recoding = recode (transparent) = re + code + ing

The noun is a standard -ing formation from the verb 'recode' and directly means the act or process of recoding.

Etymology

Recoding is made of re- meaning 'again' and code meaning 'a system of signs or instructions', the same root you see in code, decode, and encode. So recoding means 'changing information into a new code or format', which explains why we use it for converting data or file types.
