Morphology

monogrammed = monogram (transparent) = monogram + ed

Formed by the regular past-participle/adjectival '-ed' from the verb 'monogram', yielding 'marked with a monogram'.

Etymology

The word monogrammed comes from mono- 'one' and -gram 'letter' or 'written mark', and you can see -gram in telegram, a written message. So something monogrammed has a person's initials joined into one design on an item.
