Morphology

harassed = harass (transparent) = harass + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participle/adjectival form of the verb 'harass' and directly means 'subjected to harassment'.

Etymology

The word harassed comes from an older French verb harasser, which meant 'to tire out' and is like the English word harry ('to attack' or 'bother' again and again). So, someone who is harassed feels worn down or stressed by repeated annoyances.
