Morphology

groomed = groom (transparent) = groom + ed

The word 'groomed' is transparently derived from the verb 'groom' with the addition of the past participle suffix '-ed'.

Etymology

Groomed comes from the old word groom, which meant a person who took care of horses and brushed them clean, like a 'stable groom'. So when something is groomed it is neat and carefully looked after.
