Morphology

diagnosing = diagnose (transparent) = diagnose + ing

Formed from the verb 'diagnose' with the gerund/participle suffix '-ing', meaning 'the act or process of diagnosing'.

Etymology

The word diagnosing comes from Greek parts dia- meaning 'through' and gnosis meaning 'knowledge', so it is like 'knowing through' the clues of a problem. That's why diagnosing means finding the cause of an illness or a machine problem by looking at the signs.
