Derived directly from the noun 'brandy' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed'; the meaning 'containing or flavored with brandy' is predictable.

Etymology

Brandied comes from the word brandy, which itself comes from the old Dutch word brandewijn meaning 'burnt wine' because people heated wine to make the spirit. So brandied describes food that has been soaked in or flavored with brandy.
