securitization = securitize (transparent) = security + ize + ation
Standard derivation from 'security' to the verb 'securitize' and noun formation with '-ation' yields the financial meaning directly.
Etymology
The word securitization comes from security, which also names a financial 'security' like a bond or stock, and the ending -ization meaning 'making into'. So in finance, securitization is the process of turning loans or other assets into 'securities' that can be sold to investors.
