Morphology

succeeding = succeed (transparent) = succeed + ing

A straightforward formation from 'succeed' + '-ing' meaning 'coming after' or 'following' which is directly predictable from the base verb.

Etymology

The word succeeding meaning 'coming after' comes from the same Latin parts sub- 'under' and cedere 'to go', and is the same root as successor. So succeeding years or events are those that 'come after' others in order.
