Morphology
adrenalized = adrenalize (transparent) = adrenal + ize + d
The adjective is clearly derived from the verb 'adrenalize' (adrenal + -ize) with -ed, meaning 'made/filled with adrenaline', which learners can infer from 'adrenal'/'adrenaline'.
Etymology
Adrenalized comes from adrenaline, the body's quick-energy chemical made by small glands near your kidneys, and from -ized, which means 'filled with' or 'made like', just like energized. So, to be adrenalized is to feel a sudden rush of energy and excitement.
