Morphology

socketing = socket (transparent) = socket + ing

Formed by the verb 'socket' + the noun-forming '-ing' (the act or process of fitting into a socket), so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Socketing comes from socket, a small hollow or 'place to hold' another part, as in an 'eye socket' or a plug socket. So socketing is the act of fitting something into that hollow to make a secure join.
