Morphology

journalize = journal (transparent) = journal + ize

The verb is regularly formed by adding the productive verbal suffix '-ize' to 'journal', yielding 'to record in a journal'; the meaning maps directly to the base.

Etymology

Journalize comes from journal ('daily record' or 'diary') and the ending -ize ('to make or do'). So to journalize in computer systems is to make a record of events or changes so data can be restored after a crash.
