Morphology
personalization = personalize (semi-transparent) = personal + ize + ation
Morphologically regular but the sense is specialized (a psychological bias) that may not be immediately obvious to all learners from the base meaning.
Etymology
The word personalization also comes from personal, from person meaning 'a human', and a helpful way to remember this sense is 'making things personal' or 'taking it personally'. So in how people think, personalization means seeing events as about yourself, which is why someone may feel others' actions are directed at them.
