Morphology
decentralization = decentralize (transparent) = de + central + ize + ation
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'decentralize' meaning the process of making something less centralized.
Etymology
Decentralization comes from de- meaning 'away from' and central meaning 'center'. In computing, it means moving data and control 'away from' one main server to many different computers, so the system does not rely on a single center.
