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 standard 'a rule or usual form'. So a nonstandardized method or product does not follow the official or common rules and may be different from others.
