Morphology
marked-up = mark up (transparent) = mark + up + ed
Directly formed from the phrasal verb 'mark up' in its past-participial/adjectival form, so the meaning 'annotated or altered' follows straightforwardly.
Etymology
The word marked-up comes from mark ('a sign or note') and up, a simple way to think of 'add marks'. It originally meant a paper that has notes, corrections, or comments on it, so a 'marked-up' document shows what to change or check.
