Morphology
transplanting = transplant (transparent) = trans + plant + ing
Formed by the productive verb 'transplant' plus the gerundive suffix '-ing', yielding the action of moving something.
Etymology
The word transplanting comes from the parts trans- ('across', as in transport) and plant ('to put in the ground'). Think of moving a small tree from one pot into new soil — that image explains why transplanting means taking something from one place and placing it in another, whether a plant, an organ, or a custom.
