Morphology

concussed = concuss (transparent) = concuss + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participle/adjectival use of the verb 'concuss' meaning 'to suffer a concussion', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Concussed comes from the old Latin verb concutere, meaning 'to shake together'. That's why a concussed person has had their brain 'shaken' by a blow and may feel dizzy or confused.
