Morphology

journalization = journalize (transparent) = journal + ize + ation

Formed from the verb 'journalize' + the noun-forming suffix '-ation', yielding 'the act of recording in a journal', a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Journalization comes from journal, a word tied to 'day' and originally meaning a 'daily record', and the ending -ization means 'making'. So, journalization is the act of making or keeping a record, which is why it means recording transactions or events in accounting.
