Morphology

millionize = million (transparent) = million + ize

Meaning 'to make or express in millions' is directly predictable from 'million' + '-ize'.

Etymology

Millionize is built from million and the ending -ize, which means 'make' or 'use'. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think of dividing very large numbers so you 'use' millions as the unit, for example showing '3 million' instead of '3,000,000' to make figures easier to compare.
