long-dated = long + dated (transparent) = long + dated

Formed from the clear combination of 'long' + 'dated' to mean 'having a long date/maturity', which a learner who knows the components can readily infer.

Etymology

The word long-dated comes from two clear parts: long meaning 'for a long time' and dated meaning 'having a set date'. Think of a calendar with a far future date — in finance it describes a bond or security that will be paid back only after a long time, often more than 15 years, so it literally has a 'long' date before repayment.
