Morphology
territorialization = territorial (semi-transparent) = territory + al + ization
The noun is regularly formed from the adjective 'territorial' with '-ization', so the structural link is clear.
Etymology
Territorialization comes from the word territory, which comes from a root meaning 'land' and is the same idea you see in terrain. The ending -ization means a 'process', so territorialization is the process of marking, organizing, or making an area into a territory.
