Morphology
particularized = particularize (transparent) = particular + ize + ed
The verb 'particularize' is a regular derivation from 'particular' with -ize, and adding -ed forms the adjective 'particularized' meaning 'made specific', a directly inferable derivation.
Etymology
The word particularized comes from particular, which is built on part meaning 'a piece', and the ending -ize meaning 'to make'. So to particularize is to 'make something a specific piece', and that's why particularized means focused on a specific person, thing, or detail.
