Morphology
conventionalized = conventionalize (transparent) = convention + al + ize + ed
Formed by the adjective 'conventional' with productive verb-forming '-ize' to mean 'make conventional', then '-ed' as past participle/adjectival; the meaning is a direct result of these steps.
Etymology
Conventionalized comes from convention, which means 'a usual way or rule', plus the ending -ize meaning 'to make'. So something conventionalized is made to follow the usual style or rules, often feeling formal and not natural.
