Morphology

hyped = hype (semi-transparent) = hype + ed

The adjectival use 'hyped' meaning 'very excited' is a slang/metaphorical extension from promotional 'hype' and is not a strictly literal -ed result for all learners.

Etymology

Hyped can also mean very excited, from the phrase hyped up where hype came to mean 'build excitement' or raise energy. So when people are hyped, they are full of excitement because attention or expectation has made them feel that way.
