Morphology
mutualization = mutualize (transparent) = mutual + ize + ation
Formed by a productive verb-forming suffix ('-ize') and a standard nominalizing suffix ('-ation'), yielding 'the process of making/shared'.
Etymology
Mutualization comes from mutual ('shared between people') and -ization ('the process of making'), so you can think of people putting risks or debt into one shared pool. That is why mutualization means sharing or pooling financial risk so responsibility is held together.
