Morphology
subsidization = subsidize (transparent) = subsidiz + ation
Standard deverbal noun formation from 'subsidize' with the productive suffix '-ation', so the meaning 'the act or process of subsidizing' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word subsidization comes from subsidy, from the Latin subsidium meaning 'help', made of sub- 'under' and sidere 'to sit'. So a subsidization is money given as 'help from under' — a support that holds up an industry, service, or group.
