Morphology

individualized = individualize (transparent) = individual + ize + ed

Standard adjectival/past-participle formation from the verb 'individualize' using '-ed', so the relation is clear.

Etymology

The word individualized comes from individual, which originally meant 'not divided' or 'one person', and is like the word divide, which means 'to split'. So to make something individualized is to make it fit one person's needs or wants.
