Morphology

deionized = deionize (semi-transparent) = de + ion + ize + ed

Formed regularly by adding the adjective-forming past participle suffix '-ed' to the verb 'deionize'.

Etymology

Deionized breaks into de- meaning 'remove' and ion meaning 'a charged particle'. So deionized water has had those charged particles taken away and is very pure, which is why laboratories and batteries use it.
