Morphology

floodlighted = floodlight (transparent) = flood + light + ed

Formed by adding the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed' to the verb 'floodlight', so the relation is directly derivable.

Etymology

Floodlighted comes from the parts flood and light, where flood means 'to cover' and light means 'light'. So, if a place is floodlighted, it is 'covered' by very strong lights that shine over a large area, usually at night.
