Morphology
particularization = particularize (transparent) = particular + ize + ation
The noun is a regular nominalization of the verb 'particularize' with the suffix '-ation', yielding the process/result meaning.
Etymology
Particularization comes from the common word part, which means 'piece', and from particular, meaning 'about a single part or case'. So particularization is the process of breaking a general idea into parts and giving specific, detailed information about one case.
