Morphology

annihilated = annihilate (transparent) = annihilate + ed

A regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'annihilate', so the meaning 'completely destroyed' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word annihilated comes from Latin parts ad- ('to') and nihil ('nothing'), so it originally meant 'make into nothing'. That's why annihilated now means completely destroyed or wiped out.
