Morphology

carbonated = carbonate (transparent) = carbon + ate + ed

Formed by adding -ed to the verb 'carbonate'; the relation to 'carbonate' (and thus to 'carbon' and dissolved CO2) is straightforward.

Etymology

Carbonated comes from carbon, an old word for 'coal' and now the name of the element that forms carbon dioxide gas. So a carbonated drink has that 'carbon' gas inside, which makes the drink 'fizzy' with bubbles.
