Morphology

normalization = normalize (transparent) = normal + ize + ation

The noun is formed from the verb 'normalize' by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ation', and 'normalize' is transparently 'normal' + '-ize'.

Etymology

Normalization comes from normal, which in turn comes from the Latin norma, a word for 'a rule' or a tool used to draw straight lines. So normalization is the act of making things follow one common rule or standard.
