Morphology

skijoring = skijor (semi-transparent) = ski + jor + ing

For the verb form, the derivation from the base verb 'skijor' + '-ing' is clear in form, but 'jor' itself is not a recognizable independent morpheme in English.

Etymology

The verb skijoring comes from the Scandinavian parts ski and kjøring, where kjøring means 'driving', so skijoring literally means being 'driven' along on skis by a horse, dog, or motor vehicle.
