Morphology

metricize = metric (transparent) = metric + ize

Productive verb formation from the noun 'metric' using '-ize', meaning 'to apply or introduce metrics', which is predictable from the components.

Etymology

Metricize comes from metric ('measure') and the ending -ize ('to make'). A helpful way to remember the second meaning is to think of it as 'making' a process measurable with numbers or scores so people can track and improve its performance.
