Morphology
miking = mic (transparent) = mic + ing
A straightforward gerund/nominalization from the verb 'mic' meaning 'to use a microphone', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word miking comes from mic, short for microphone, and the parts micro- and -phone mean 'small' and 'sound'. So miking is about placing a microphone to record or make a sound louder, which is why the word means using a microphone to capture or amplify sound.
