The meaning is clearly derived from 'capitalize' in the context of writing.
Etymology
Capitalization comes from capital, from an old Latin word caput meaning 'head'. A capital letter is like a 'head' letter at the start of a name or sentence, so capitalization is the act of using those big 'head' letters.
