Morphology

granulated = granulate (transparent) = granulate + ed

Formed by the regular past-participle/adjectival use of the verb 'granulate' with '-ed', so the meaning 'made into grains' is directly derived.

Etymology

Granulated comes from the Latin root granum, which means 'grain'. Picture sugar or sand made of many tiny 'grains' — that's why granulated describes something made into small grains or with a grainy texture.
