Morphology

tableting = tablet (transparent) = tablet + ing

This is a regular -ing nominalization of the verb 'tablet' meaning to form substances into tablets, so the pharmaceutical sense is directly predictable.

Etymology

Tableting comes from tablet, which originally meant a small flat 'table' or board and is like the common word table. Because pills are made by pressing ingredients into a small flat shape, tableting is the process of forming substances into those tablets.
