Morphology

vitalizing = vitalize (transparent) = vital + ize + ing

The verb 'vitalize' (vital + -ize) is clearly the base, and adding '-ing' forms a participial/adjectival form with an obvious meaning.

Etymology

Vitalizing comes from the root vital, from the Latin vita meaning 'life', and you can see the same idea in vitality and vitamin, words about energy and health. So something vitalizing gives 'life' or energy to a person or thing.
