Morphology
toasting = toast (semi-transparent) = toast + ing
Formally a regular verb + -ing formation, but the computing sense of 'toast' is specialized and metaphorical, so the meaning of the compound is not predictable from general knowledge of 'toast' (bread).
Etymology
Toasting in computing comes from the idea of a small message called a toast. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a slice of toast popping up from a toaster: the message appears briefly on the screen and then disappears, so 'toasting' is showing a short, temporary notice.
