Morphology

visualized = visualize (transparent) = visual + ize + ed

Formed by productive suffixation: 'visual' + '-ize' (verb-forming) -> 'visualize', then '-ed' marks past/past-participle/adjectival form; the relation to 'visual' is clear.

Etymology

Visualized comes from visual (about 'seeing') and the ending -ize ('to make'), and it is like familiar words such as vision and video which mean 'see'. So, to visualize something is to 'make a picture' of it in your mind, which is why a visualized image is one you imagine mentally.
