Morphology

resonating = resonate (transparent) = resonate + ing

Formed by adding the participial suffix '-ing' to the verb 'resonate', yielding an adjectival present-participle whose meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

The word resonating comes from the Latin parts re- ('again') and sonare ('to sound'), so it originally means 'sounding again' like an echo. That's why a resonating voice or idea keeps going and has a deep, lasting effect.
