Morphology

desynchronizing = desynchronize (semi-transparent) = de + synchron + ize + ing

The noun is a regular -ing formation from the verb 'desynchronize', so the process meaning is directly predictable from the base verb.

Etymology

Desynchronizing comes from de- 'remove' and synchron- 'together at the same time', the same root as synchronize. So desynchronizing means making things no longer happen at the same time.
