Morphology

horizontalize = horizontal (transparent) = horizontal + ize

Formed by adding the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' to the adjective 'horizontal', meaning 'to make or render horizontal', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Horizontalize comes from horizontal, which links to the old word horizon meaning 'the line where the sky and land meet', and the ending -ize meaning 'to make'. So, to horizontalize something is to 'make' it like the horizon — arrange it side to side or into a flat left-to-right layout.
