Morphology

multi-seeded = seeded (transparent) = multi + seed + ed

The adjective is formed transparently by adding multi- to seeded, and the meaning 'having many seeds' follows directly from the parts.

Etymology

The word multi-seeded comes from multi- meaning 'many' and seed meaning 'a small part that can grow into a plant'. So, multi-seeded means 'containing or having many seeds', like a fruit you cut open and find lots of little seeds.
