Morphology

assembling = assemble (transparent) = assemble + ing

A standard gerund/nominalization from the verb 'assemble' indicating the action or process of bringing parts or people together.

Etymology

Assembling comes from old parts ad- 'to' and semble 'join' (the same root you see in similar), which together gave the idea of bringing things together, so assembling means putting people or parts into one group or making a whole.
