Morphology
institutionalize = institutional (transparent) = institution + al + ize
The verb is formed by adding '-ize' to 'institutional', giving the straightforward meaning 'to make (something) part of an institution or institutional practice'.
Etymology
The word institutionalize comes from institution, based on a Latin verb that means 'to set up' or 'establish'. Think of an institution as a system or habit that is 'set up' and official, so to institutionalize something is to make it a regular, official part of an organization or society.
