Morphology

roaring = roar (semi-transparent) = roar + ing

The adjective 'roaring' in 'roaring success' is a metaphorical intensifier derived from 'roar' but the sense 'very successful/profitable' is an extended, non-literal meaning.

Etymology

Roaring comes from the simple sound word roar, the loud noise of a lion, wind, or a cheering crowd. So a 'roaring' business or period is like that strong, noisy energy — 'very lively' and 'successful'.
