Morphology

dehydrated = dehydrate (transparent) = de + hydrate + ed

This adjective is a regular -ed form of the verb 'dehydrate' and means having had moisture removed.

Etymology

Dehydrated comes from the parts de- 'remove' and hydr- 'water', the same root in hydrate. So dehydrated food has had its water removed to last longer or to be lighter to carry.
