Morphology
addicted = addict (opaque) = ad + dict + ed
The word 'addicted' is derived from 'addict', but the sense of being physically or mentally dependent is not directly inferable from the root 'dict'.
Etymology
Addicted comes from an old Latin word addicere meaning 'to give over' or 'hand over'. Like dedicate, which means to give something to a person or cause, addicted means being 'given over' to a habit or substance, so a person who is addicted finds it hard to stop.
