Morphology

framing = frame (transparent) = frame + ing

A standard gerund/nominalization from the verb 'frame' meaning 'the act or process of framing', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Framing comes from the simple word frame, which is a structure that 'holds' or 'shapes' something, like a picture frame that decides what you notice. So framing is the act of arranging or presenting information to 'shape' how people understand or respond to it.
