Morphology
regularization = regularize (transparent) = regular + ize + ation
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ation' to the verb 'regularize' (itself regular + -ize); the meaning 'act or process of making regular' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Regularization comes from the word regular, which traces back to the old Latin regula meaning 'rule'. So regularization is the process of making things follow a rule or become 'regular' and uniform, which is why we use it for making procedures or forms consistent.
