Morphology

randomization = randomize (transparent) = random + ize + ation

Standard nominalization from the verb 'randomize' (itself transparently formed from 'random' + '-ize'); meaning 'the process of making random' is directly derived.

Etymology

Randomization comes from the common word random, which means 'without a fixed order', plus the endings -ize ('make') and -ation ('the act of'). So, randomization is the act of making things 'without a fixed order', for example putting people into groups in a study to avoid bias.
