Surface Forms

filmed positive

Morphology

filmed = film (transparent) = film + ed

Formed by the verb 'film' plus the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'recorded on film' is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

Filmed comes from film, which used to mean a 'thin skin' or layer like the shiny skin on soap. The long strip that reacts to light and was used to make movies was called a film, so to film something is to 'record it as a movie'.
