Morphology

gasified = gasify (transparent) = gas + ify + ed

Formed by verb 'gasify' + past-participial '-ed'; the meaning 'converted into gas' is directly derivable from the base.

Etymology

Gasified comes from the simple word gas and the ending -ify, which means 'to make'. So gasified literally means 'made into a gas', which is why we use it when something is changed into vapor by heat or a chemical reaction.
