Morphology

scheduling = schedule (transparent) = schedule + ing

Formed by the verb 'schedule' plus the productive nominalizing/gerundial suffix '-ing', so the meaning 'the process of arranging' is directly derived.

Etymology

Scheduling comes from schedule, which once meant a 'small paper' or 'list' and the older form schedula was a little note used for dates and times. So scheduling is like making a list of times or arranging events in order, which is why it means planning when things will happen.
