Morphology
canonicalization = canonicalize (semi-transparent) = canon + ical + ize + ation
The noun is regularly formed from 'canonicalize', but the data-processing sense is technical and may not be fully predictable for learners who only know the base noun 'canon'.
Etymology
Canonicalization comes from canon 'rule' or 'standard' and the ending -ization 'making into'. So, canonicalization is the process of making data follow a single standard form.
