freeze-dried = freeze-dry (transparent) = freeze + dry + ed

Etymology
The word freeze-dried comes from two simple words: freeze ('become very cold') and dried ('remove water'). The food is frozen and then the ice is removed, so it becomes light and lasts a long time, which is why freeze-dried means food preserved by freezing and drying.
