Morphology

iodinated = iodinate (transparent) = iodine + ate + ed

The immediate base is the verb 'iodinate' (iodine + -ate) and the adjectival/past-participle '-ed' simply marks it as treated with iodine, a direct chemical derivation.

Etymology

Iodinated comes from iodine and the ending -ated, which means 'treated with' or 'made with'. So, just like 'salted' means 'treated with salt', iodinated means 'treated with iodine'.
