Morphology

soaring = soar (transparent) = soar + ing

The adjective is a present-participial adjective formed from 'soar' + -ing, with meaning directly derived (rising rapidly).

Etymology

Soaring comes from the verb soar, which means 'to rise very high' and gives the image of something shooting up into the sky. That's why we call prices or rates 'soaring' when they go up quickly.
