Morphology

low-priced = low + price (transparent) = low + price + ed

Formed from the compound 'low' + 'price' with an adjectival '-ed' suffix; the meaning 'having a low price' follows directly from its parts.

Etymology

Low-priced comes from the two simple English words low 'not high' and price 'cost', so imagine a price tag placed very low on a shelf. That's why low-priced means 'costing a small amount of money' or inexpensive.
