Morphology

inhabited = inhabit (transparent) = inhabit + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'inhabit'; meaning 'lived in' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word inhabited comes from in- meaning 'in' and habitare meaning 'to live'. It is like habitat, a place where people or animals live, so inhabited means a place that has people or animals living in it.
