Surface Forms

juried positive

Morphology

juried = jury (transparent) = jury + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed' to 'jury', meaning judged or selected by a jury; this is a regular, easily inferable formation.

Etymology

Juried comes from jury, the group that decides a case or a contest, and the root once meant 'to swear' when people promised to tell the truth. So a juried exhibition or contest is one where entries were chosen or judged by a panel.
