Morphology

goateed = goatee (transparent) = goatee + ed

Formed from the noun 'goatee' with the adjective-forming suffix '-ed', meaning 'having a goatee'; this is a straightforward, productive derivation.

Etymology

Goateed comes from goatee, which comes from goat, and the ending -ed means 'having'. So goateed simply means 'having a small, goat-like beard', the short pointed chin beard that looks like a goat's.
