Morphology

black-marked = black + mark (transparent) = black + mark + ed

Formed by the compound 'black' + 'mark' with the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed'; meaning ('having black marks') follows directly from the parts.

Etymology

Black-marked comes from two simple English words, black ('the dark colour') and mark ('a spot or sign'). So, something black-marked is 'marked with black', meaning it has black marks or spots.
