Surface Forms
Morphology
standardization = standardize (transparent) = standard + ize + ation
The noun is formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the verb 'standardize', which itself is transparently derived from 'standard' + '-ize'.
Etymology
Standardization comes from the common word standard ('a rule or model') plus the parts -ize ('to make') and -ation ('a process'). So standardization is the process of making things follow one rule or model, which is why it means making things uniform or consistent.
