Surface Forms

whitening singular
whitenings plural

Morphology

whitening = whiten (transparent) = white + en + ing

Formed regularly by adding -ing to the verb 'whiten' (which itself is 'white' + -en); the morphological step is standard and denotes the process of making something whiter.

Etymology

Whitening comes from white ('the colour of snow') and the part -en meaning 'make', so it simply means 'making something more white'. That's why whitening refers to treatments or products that make skin, clothes or teeth lighter.
