Morphology

bringing = bring (transparent) = bring + ing

A straightforward nominalization/gerund formed from the verb 'bring' with the productive English suffix '-ing'.

Etymology

Bringing comes from the old English verb bring, which meant 'to carry' or 'to move to someone', so imagine someone carrying a box into a room. That's why bringing means the act of delivering or giving something to a place.
