Morphology

standardized = standardize (transparent) = standard + ize + ed

The verb 'standardize' + past-participle suffix '-ed' straightforwardly yields 'standardized' meaning 'made uniform', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Standardized comes from standard, a word that once meant a 'flag' or a fixed point people could follow, and the ending -ize means 'to make'. So standardized means made the same by bringing things to one clear rule.
