Morphology

hating = hate (transparent) = hate + ing

The noun is a gerund/nominalization of the verb 'hate' formed with the productive suffix '-ing', so its meaning ('the act of hating') is directly derived.

Etymology

Hating comes from the simple word hate, which means 'strong dislike'. So hating is the act of showing that dislike, often as harsh words or negative comments, especially online.
