Morphology

songwriting = song + writing (transparent) = song + writing

The meaning is directly derivable as 'writing of songs' from the clear components 'song' + 'writing'.

Etymology

Songwriting joins song, meaning a short musical poem, and writing, meaning 'putting words down'. So, it means 'writing songs' and refers to the activity of making a song's words and music.
