Morphology

liquid-fueled = liquid + fuel (transparent) = liquid + fuel + ed

Built from the compound 'liquid' + 'fuel' with the adjectival suffix '-ed', meaning 'powered by liquid fuel', which is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Liquid-fueled joins liquid ('a thin substance that flows') and fuel ('something that gives energy when burned'), so it describes machines that are powered by liquid fuel, like rockets or generators.
