Morphology

unitize = unit (transparent) = unit + ize

Standard denominal verb formation: 'unit' + '-ize' meaning 'make into a unit' or 'organize as a unit'.

Etymology

Unitize comes from unit ('one') and the ending -ize ('to make'). That is why to unitize something in production or organization is to make it into a single unit or group for easier handling and greater efficiency.
