Morphology

compounded = compound (transparent) = compound + ed

Formed from the verb 'compound' with the past-participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', clearly indicating something that has been combined.

Etymology

Compounded comes from Latin parts meaning 'with' (com-) and 'to put' (ponere). Think of compose, which also means 'to put together', so something that is compounded is made by 'putting parts together' or mixed into one thing.
