Morphology
stigmatization = stigmatize (transparent) = stigma + ize + ation
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ation' to 'stigmatize', producing the action or process.
Etymology
Stigmatization comes from the Greek word stigma, meaning 'mark' or 'brand' once used to show shame. So to stigmatize someone is to give them a bad 'mark' in the eyes of others, which is why stigmatization means treating a person as disgraceful or socially unacceptable.
