Morphology
parameterization = parameterize (transparent) = parameter + ize + ation
Formed by adding the productive nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the familiar verb 'parameterize'; the relationship is regular and predictable.
Etymology
The word parameterization comes from parameter, made of para- ('beside') and meter ('measure'), like in the word thermometer. So parameterization is the process of choosing and setting the key 'measures' called parameters that a model uses, which is why scientists and engineers use the word when they build computer models.
