Morphology

guided = guide (transparent) = guide + ed

Formed by adding the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed' to the verb 'guide', resulting in an adjective meaning 'directed' or 'controlled'.

Etymology

Guided comes from the verb guide, which means 'to show the way' and you see the same root in guidebook or 'tour guide'. So a guided tour, drone, or missile is one that is shown or led along a planned path to its target.
