Morphology

regarding = regard (transparent) = regard + ing

Formed by the verb 'regard' plus the productive suffix '-ing'; the prepositional meaning 'concerning' is directly related to 'regard'.

Etymology

Regarding comes from the verb regard, which originally meant 'to look at' and is related to the word guard ('to watch'). So when you say 'regarding the meeting' you are like 'looking toward' or talking 'about' that subject.
