Morphology

misting = mist (transparent) = mist + ing

Formed from the verb 'mist' plus the nominalizing '-ing' to indicate the action or process of producing mist, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word misting comes from the simple word mist, which means 'a fine spray of tiny water drops', plus the ending -ing that makes it an action or process. So misting is the act of sending a light spray into the air to cool or moisten it.
