Morphology

aerated = aerate (transparent) = aerate + ed

Formed by adding the regular adjective/participial suffix '-ed' to the verb 'aerate'; the meaning 'supplied with air or gas' follows directly from the base verb.

Etymology

Aerated comes from the root aer- meaning 'air', the same idea as the everyday word air. To aerate a drink is to add bubbles or a gas so it becomes fizzy, so an aerated soft drink is one that has that pleasant fizz.
