Morphology

parallelization = parallelize (transparent) = parallel + ize + ation

The noun is formed by regular suffixation from the verb 'parallelize', and the derivation is straightforward.

Etymology

Parallelization comes from parallel ('side by side') and the ending -ization, which means 'the act of'. In electricity, it describes connecting parts so they are 'side by side' and share the same voltage, which explains why devices can run together safely.
