Morphology

warehousing = warehouse (semi-transparent) = warehouse + ing

Formally 'warehouse' + '-ing' is clear, but the computing sense maps physical storage to data storage and requires domain knowledge.

Etymology

Warehousing in computing uses the same idea: a warehouse is a 'house' for things, so a data warehouse is a central place to keep large amounts of information. That's why data warehousing means collecting, storing and organizing data so people can study and report it.
