Morphology

localized = localize (transparent) = local + ize + ed

Formed from the verb 'localize' plus the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed'; the idea of being confined to a place is directly derivable from 'local'.

Etymology

Localized comes from local, which comes from the Latin locus meaning 'place'. So it means something kept or limited to one 'place' or area, like pain that stays in one spot.
