Morphology
tubbing = tub (semi-transparent) = tub + ing
The form is a regular -ing derivation from tub, but the leisure/relaxation sense is slightly specialized rather than fully literal.
Etymology
Tubbing comes from tub + -ing, with tub meaning a 'small bath' as in bathtub. So tubbing is the activity of sitting or soaking in a tub to relax.
