Morphology

The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'cobweb' with -ing, but the resulting sense of accumulated webs is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Cobwebbing comes from cobweb, a web made by a cob, an old word for 'spider', and web meaning 'net' or 'woven threads'. So cobwebbing describes the presence or build-up of spider webs in places left alone or not cleaned.
