Morphology

ammoniated = ammoniate (transparent) = ammonia + ate + ed

Formed as the regular past-participle/adjectival -ed form of 'ammoniate', which itself is transparently derived from 'ammonia' + '-ate'.

Etymology

Ammoniated comes from the common chemical ammonia and the ending -ated, which means 'treated with' or 'made with'. So something ammoniated has been combined or treated with ammonia, for example an ammoniated fertilizer.
