Morphology
nonstandardized = standardized (transparent) = non + standard + ized
The word is transparently formed by negating 'standardized' with 'non-,' so its meaning is straightforwardly 'not standardized.'
Etymology
Nonstandardized comes from non- 'not' and standardized 'made to a common scale or rule'. Think of measurements kept in their original units instead of being changed to the same scale, so nonstandardized values are shown as they were measured, not adjusted for easy comparison.
