Morphology

remembering = remember (transparent) = remember + ing

Standard gerundial nominalization: the noun is directly derived from the verb 'remember' by adding '-ing'.

Etymology

The word remembering comes from the old Latin root memor meaning 'mindful' and the prefix re- meaning 'again'. So, remembering is bringing something back into your mind, just like using your memory.
