Morphology
modularization = modularize (transparent) = module + ar + ize + ation
Formed by standard suffixation from 'modularize' to denote the process; the meaning 'process of making modular' is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word modularization comes from module, a word that originally meant a 'small measure' or 'small part', and the ending -ization, which means 'the process of making or doing'. So modularization is the process of turning something into separate parts or 'building blocks' that can be changed or used on their own.
