Morphology

methylated = methylate (transparent) = methyl + ate + ed

Regular derivation from the verb 'methylate' with '-ed' indicates 'having had a methyl group added' in a straightforward, predictable way.

Etymology

Methylated comes from methyl, a chemical name built from the old Greek methy meaning 'wine', because early chemists found alcohol-like substances. A methyl is a very small chemical part, so to be methylated means that small part has been added to a molecule.
