Morphology

chorusing = chorus (transparent) = chorus + ing

A straightforward gerund/nominalization from the verb 'chorus' meaning 'sing together'; the meaning is directly derived by standard English '-ing' formation.

Etymology

Chorusing comes from the word chorus, which named a group who sang and danced together in old Greek plays and is like the modern word choir, meaning 'a group of singers'. So chorusing is when many voices or sounds join together as one sound.
