Morphology
monopolization = monopolize (transparent) = monopoly + ize + ation
The noun is formed by the regular nominalizing suffix '-ation' from the verb 'monopolize'.
Etymology
Monopolization comes from mono- meaning 'single' and the same root as monopoly, which meant 'one seller'. So monopolization is the process of becoming the only seller or taking full control of a market, leaving others out.
