Morphology

wilding = wild (semi-transparent) = wild + ing

Formally derived from 'wild' + '-ing' (an act/state of being wild), but the specific slang/legal sense of group violent rampages is socioculturally specialized and not fully predictable for learners.

Etymology

The word wilding comes from wild meaning 'out of control' and the ending -ing meaning 'an action'. It was used to describe people acting wildly in groups, often in violent attacks, so a wilding means a violent group rampage.
