Morphology

uniformize = uniform (transparent) = uniform + ize

The verb is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ize' to the familiar adjective 'uniform' to mean 'make or become uniform'.

Etymology

Uniformize comes from parts that mean 'one' and 'shape': uni- 'one' and form 'shape', the same root you see in uniform. The ending -ize means 'to make', so to uniformize something is to make it all the same in form or rules, like making all labels or measurements match.
