Morphology
crowdsourcing = crowdsource (transparent) = crowd + source + ing
Formed from the verb 'crowdsource' with the productive gerundial suffix '-ing'; meaning directly follows 'to source from a crowd'.
Etymology
Crowdsourcing combines crowd 'many people' and sourcing 'finding or getting help'. A helpful image is asking a whole crowd to be your 'source' of ideas, data, or work, often online, which is exactly what crowdsourcing means today.
