Morphology

parameterize = parameter (transparent) = parameter + ize

Standard verb formation from the noun 'parameter' with the productive suffix '-ize', yielding 'to make or treat in terms of parameters', which a typical learner can infer.

Etymology

Parameterize comes from parameter plus the verb ending -ize; parameter is built from Greek parts para- ('beside') and metron ('measure'), the same root as meter. So to parameterize is to 'set' or 'give measures' to something, which is why it means to describe or set up something using parameters.
