Morphology

loaded = load (transparent) = load + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'load' meaning 'filled or filled with items', which learners can derive directly.

Etymology

Loaded comes from the old verb load, which means 'to put goods or weight on something'. So when a truck or bag is loaded, it is 'full' or filled with things, which is the sense we use today.
