Morphology

monetize = money (transparent) = monet + ize

Formed by adding '-ize' to the money-root (monet-); the orthographic/stem change is present but the sense 'to earn or convert into revenue' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Monetize comes from the old Latin moneta ('money') and the ending -ize ('make'), so the word means 'make into money'. That's why when a website or app is monetized it is turned into a way to 'earn money'.
