armatured positive

Morphology

armatured = armature (transparent) = armature + ed

Formed regularly from the noun 'armature' with the suffix '-ed' meaning 'fitted with' or 'having', a derivation learners can follow.

Etymology

Armatured comes from armature, a word that originally meant 'equipment' and comes from Latin armare 'to arm'; engineers later used armature for the moving part of a motor that holds the coils, so an armatured device is one 'fitted with' that working part.
