Morphology

dualize = dual (transparent) = dual + ize

Clearly derived by the productive suffix '-ize' meaning 'to make or render', producing 'make two' or 'give two aspects'.

Etymology

Dualize comes from dual, which goes back to Latin duo meaning 'two'. To dualize something is to give it two parts or two functions, like changing a single road into a two-part road or adding a backup, so it works as a pair.
