Morphology

uniformization = uniformize (transparent) = uniform + ization

The noun is formed in the regular way from the verb 'uniformize', and the meaning follows directly from nominalizing 'make uniform'.

Etymology

Uniformization comes from uniform (built from uni- 'one' and form 'shape') and the ending -ization 'making'. So, it literally means 'making things the same', which is why we use it for making rules, systems, or parts consistent and standard.
