Etymology: "Customizations" is simply the plural of "customization," the noun formed by adding the suffix "-ation" to the verb "customize." That suffix, inherited through Old French from Latin "-atio," turns an action into a noun naming the result of that action, so a customization is the outcome of making something to suit a particular owner. The base verb "customize" builds on "custom," which descends from Old French "costume," meaning a habitual practice, and the plural form simply counts the separate adjustments made to a product or service.

Synonyms: modifications, alterations, adjustments
