Morphology

uniformization = uniformize (semi-transparent) = uniform + ization

The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'uniformize', but the mathematical sense is specialized beyond what most B1 learners would infer.

Etymology

Uniformization comes from uniform (built from uni- 'one' and form 'shape') plus the ending -ization 'making'. In mathematics it means giving a space a single, regular 'shape' or turning a complicated surface into a simpler, uniform one so it is easier to study.
