Morphology

jungled = jungle (transparent) = jungle + ed

Formed from the noun 'jungle' with the regular adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed', meaning 'covered with or having become like a jungle', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Jungled comes from jungle, which comes from the Hindi word jangal meaning 'forest'. So something 'jungled' has become like a wild, overgrown forest, full of plants and hard to walk through.
