Morphology

like-minded = minded (transparent) = like + mind + ed

Formed by compounding 'like' (similar) and 'minded' (having a mind/disposition); the meaning 'having similar opinions' is directly predictable. [Postprocessing: moved 'like' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Like-minded comes from like ('similar') and mind ('thinking'), so it means people who 'think alike'. That's why like-minded describes people with similar opinions or interests.
