Morphology
deleveraging = deleverage (semi-transparent) = de + leverage + ing
Adding '-ing' to the verb 'deleverage' to name the process is a standard and fully predictable English pattern.
Etymology
The word deleveraging comes from the prefix de- meaning 'remove' and leverage, which comes from lever, a simple bar used to lift things. In finance, leverage means using borrowed money to 'lift' returns, so deleveraging is the process of removing that 'lever' and reducing debt by paying loans or selling assets.
