Morphology

publicized = publicize (transparent) = public + ize + ed

The word is a regular past-participle adjective formed from the verb 'publicize' by adding '-ed', and 'publicize' is transparently derived from 'public' + '-ize'.

Etymology

Publicized comes from public, an old word meaning 'of the people', plus -ize, meaning 'to make'. So to publicize is to 'make something for the people', to make it known, and publicized means it has been announced widely.
