Morphology

suntanning = suntan (transparent) = sun + tan + ing

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ing' to 'suntan' (itself sun + tan), and the adjectival meaning 'for producing a suntan' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Suntanning combines sun and tan, where tan means 'to make brown' or the colour 'tan'. So a suntanning product or treatment is one made to give or deepen a brown skin colour from the sun.
