Morphology

footed = foot (transparent) = foot + ed

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'foot' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having feet' or 'specified by feet'.

Etymology

The word footed comes from foot, meaning 'the lower part of the leg' or what touches the ground, and the ending -ed, which means 'having'. So footed simply means 'having feet' or a certain number of feet, as in 'four-footed' animals or a 'footed' bowl with small legs.
