Morphology

subtyping = subtype (transparent) = sub + type + ing

Adding -ing to the verb 'subtype' straightforwardly forms a noun naming the process or result of subtype classification.

Etymology

Subtyping comes from the parts sub- meaning 'under' and type meaning 'kind', and you can see sub- in submarine, which goes 'under' the sea. So subtyping is the act of sorting a smaller 'kind under' a larger kind, which explains why it means putting a subtype inside a bigger group in programming or research.
