Surface Forms

advised positive

Morphology

advised = advise (semi-transparent) = advise + ed

The form is 'advise' + -ed, but the meaning 'wise/prudent' is an extended evaluative sense rather than a literal 'having been advised', so the relation is not fully transparent for learners.

Etymology

Advised comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and videre 'to see', the same 'see' root as in vision. So an advised decision is one you have looked at or thought about first, which is why it means careful or wise.
