Etymology: Ordinarized is the past tense and participle of "ordinarize," a verb built in English from "ordinary" and the suffix "-ize." It is a rare word, so there is little recorded history beyond its parts. "Ordinary" comes from Latin "ordinarius," meaning orderly or regular, from "ordo," meaning order or row. Something ordinary was once simply something that fit the usual arrangement, and only later came to mean plain or unremarkable. The suffix "-ize" traces back to Greek "-izein," reaching English through Latin and French.
