Morphology

languaged = language (transparent) = language + ed

Regular past-tense formation from the verb 'language' meaning 'to express in words', so the meaning of 'languaged' is directly derived.

Etymology

Languaged comes from the noun language, which comes from the old word lingua meaning 'tongue'. So to language something (and thus to be languaged) is to put it into 'words' or give it a 'voice', which is why languaged means 'expressed in words'.
