Morphology

iodized = iodize (transparent) = iod + ize + ed

Formed by adding -ed to the verb 'iodize' (itself from 'iodine' + -ize); the meaning 'treated with iodine' is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Iodized comes from iodine, the chemical, plus the ending -ize, which means 'to make' or 'treat'. Iodine was named from a Greek word meaning 'violet' because its gas is purple, so iodized simply means 'treated with iodine' to add this important chemical to food and help prevent iodine deficiency.
