Morphology

palletize = pallet (transparent) = pallet + ize

Formed by adding the productive verbalizing suffix '-ize' to 'pallet', yielding 'to place on pallets', which is directly derivable from the base noun.

Etymology

Palletize comes from the simple word pallet, a flat wooden platform used for stacking and moving boxes, plus the ending -ize which means 'make' or 'use'. So, to palletize is to put goods onto pallets to make them easier to move and store.
