Morphology
desynchronization = desynchronize (transparent) = de + synchron + ize + ation
Adding '-ation' to the verb 'desynchronize' gives the noun for the process or state in a standard and predictable way.
Etymology
Desynchronization starts with de- meaning 'not' or 'remove' and has synchron- meaning 'at the same time', the same idea you see in the everyday word sync. So, desynchronization is the state when things are 'not in sync' and do not happen together.
