Morphology
rollerblading = rollerblade (transparent) = rollerblade + ing
Formed as the gerund/nominalization of the verb 'rollerblade' + -ing; the activity is directly named from the verb.
Etymology
Rollerblading comes from the brand Rollerblade, a company that made inline skates, and the name combines roller (something that 'rolls') and blade (a thin skate-like part). So think 'rolling on blades' to remember it means skating using inline skates.
