Morphology

sauteing = sauté (transparent) = saute + ing

The word 'sauteing' is transparently derived from 'sauté' with the addition of the suffix '-ing' to indicate the action or process.

Etymology

Sauteing comes from the French verb sauter, which means 'to jump', because pieces of food seem to jump in a hot pan; that's why sauteing means cooking quickly in a small amount of fat over high heat.
