Morphology
politicization = politicize (transparent) = politic + ize + ation
The noun is a regular nominalization of the verb 'politicize' using '-ation', so the immediate step is predictable.
Etymology
Politicization comes from politic, the same root as politics, which goes back to the Greek polis meaning 'city' and so originally meant public life or the affairs of citizens. The parts -ize ('to make') and -ation ('the process') show that politicization is the process of 'making' something political, which is why it means turning a thing into a political issue or putting it under political influence or control.
