Morphology
decentralized = decentralize (semi-transparent) = de + central + ize + ed
The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'decentralize' and keeps the same core meaning.
Etymology
Decentralized comes from the parts de- meaning 'away from' and central meaning 'the centre', like the word center, so it literally means moving power 'away from the centre' to local places. That's why a decentralized system gives control to many local groups instead of one main office.
