Morphology
commercialized = commercialize (transparent) = commercial + ize + ed
The adjective is formed by adding '-ed' to the verb 'commercialize' (itself transparently formed from 'commercial' + '-ize'), so the step to the target is straightforward.
Etymology
Commercialized comes from commerce, which means 'trade' or 'buying and selling', and the ending -ize means 'to make' or 'to turn into'. So, something that is commercialized is made into a product for sale and often loses its original value or feeling.
