Morphology

low-sudsing = low + suds (transparent) = low + suds + ing

Formed by combining 'low' and 'suds' (with '-ing' on 'suds'), the meaning 'producing few suds' is directly deducible from the parts.

Etymology

Low-sudsing is simply made from low ('small in amount') and suds ('bubbles'), with -ing turning it into a description. So a low-sudsing detergent makes 'few bubbles' when you use it, which is why it is good for modern washing machines.
