Morphology

nonlocalized = localized (transparent) = non + local + ize + ed

Negative prefix 'non-' attaches to 'localized' (meaning 'restricted to a place'), producing the clear meaning 'not localized' in the sense of not spatially restricted.

Etymology

The word nonlocalized comes from non- 'not' and local 'place', so it literally means 'not in one place'. That's why a nonlocalized pain or infection cannot be pointed to a single spot and may feel spread out.
