Morphology

telecasting = telecast (transparent) = telecast + ing

The noun/gerund is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ing' to the verb 'telecast', yielding the action or process of broadcasting by television.

Etymology

The word telecasting comes from tele- meaning 'far', as in telephone and television, and cast meaning 'to send' or 'throw', like in broadcast. So telecasting is 'sending images far', which is why it means sending TV programmes to many people.
