Morphology

conceptualization = conceptualize (semi-transparent) = concept + ual + ize + ation

The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'conceptualize' with the suffix '-ation', so the immediate derivation is clear.

Etymology

The word conceptualization begins with concept, from the Latin parts con- meaning 'together' and capere meaning 'to take', the same root as capture. The ending -ization means 'making' or 'process', so conceptualization is the process of 'taking' ideas together in your mind and forming a clear idea.
