Morphology
suburbanization = suburbanize (semi-transparent) = sub + urban + ize + ation
The noun is regularly formed from the verb 'suburbanize' by the suffix '-ation'.
Etymology
Suburbanization comes from suburb, which is made of sub- 'near' and urban 'city', so it means 'making areas near the city'. That's why suburbanization describes people and services moving out of the city into nearby neighborhoods and the growth of suburbs.
