Morphology

keyed = key (transparent) = key + ed

The adjective 'keyed' is transparently derived from 'key' with the suffix '-ed', indicating a state or condition related to a key.

Etymology

Keyed comes from the noun key, the small metal tool used 'to open' a lock, and so something keyed is 'fitted' with a key or made to be opened, controlled, or matched by a key.
