Morphology

styling = style (transparent) = style + ing

Derived from 'style' + '-ing'; in UI contexts it denotes the application of style rules, a direct extension of the verb meaning.

Etymology

Styling comes from the word style, which comes from the Latin stilus meaning 'writing stick'. The meaning changed to 'a particular way of presenting something', so in web design styling means the set of rules that make a page or component look a certain way.
