Morphology

lifelogging = lifelog (transparent) = life + log + ing

Formed from the compound 'lifelog' (life + log) with the gerundive suffix '-ing' indicating the activity; each step is semantically regular and clear.

Etymology

Lifelogging combines life and log; log is the same word in logbook and means a 'record' of events. So lifelogging is a way of always 'recording' your daily activities and experiences with digital devices.
