Morphology

meated = meat (transparent) = meat + ed

Formed by the noun 'meat' plus the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' meaning 'having or covered with meat', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Meated comes from the simple word meat plus the ending -ed, which here means 'having' or 'covered with'. So meated literally means 'containing meat', which is why we use it for dishes that have a lot of meat.
