Surface Forms

leaved positive

Morphology

leaved = leaf (transparent) = leaf + ed

The adjective is formed from the noun 'leaf' plus the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed', meaning 'having leaves', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Leaved comes from the simple word leaf 'the flat green part of a plant' plus the ending -ed which means 'having', so leaved means 'having leaves', as in 'four-leaved' for a clover with four leaves.
