Morphology

fatigued = fatigue (transparent) = fatigue + ed

A regular past-participial adjective formed from the verb 'fatigue' meaning 'made tired', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Fatigued comes from an old Latin verb fatigare meaning 'to tire out' or 'wear down'. Think of a person or a machine made weak by long hard work, which is why fatigued means extremely tired and without energy.
