Morphology

striping = stripe (transparent) = stripe + ing

Formed from the verb 'stripe' plus the productive suffix '-ing' meaning the action or result; learners who know 'stripe' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Striping comes from stripe, which means 'a long, narrow band' and is like the common word strip. The -ing part shows the action or the marks, so striping is the act of making stripes or the stripes you see.
