Morphology

smartsizing = smart + size (semi-transparent) = smart + size + ing

The components 'smart' + 'size' are interpretable, but the corporate jargon sense (an efficiency-focused restructuring, often with workforce reduction) is specialized and not fully predictable from the parts.

Etymology

The word smartsizing joins smart ('clever') and sizing, as in downsizing ('making smaller'). So, smartsizing means making a company smarter about how big it is and how it works by careful changes to be more efficient, and sometimes by reducing workers.
