Morphology

weaving = weave (semi-transparent) = weave + ing

The computing sense is a metaphorical extension of the action 'weave' (interlacing code), so the morphological link is clear but the specialized technical meaning is not directly inferable to all learners.

Etymology

Weaving originally meant 'to make cloth by crossing threads' and is related to web, a net of threads. So in computing, weaving is a useful image for joining separate pieces of code together, like pulling threads into one cloth.
