Morphology
small-capitalization = small + capitalization (semi-transparent) = small + capital + ize + ation
The compound structure is clear, but the finance-specific sense depends on knowing 'capitalization' in its market-value meaning.
Etymology
Small-capitalization joins small ('little') with capitalization, which comes from capital ('money' or 'value'). So, small-capitalization companies are those with a 'small' total market value, often less than one billion dollars.
