Morphology

narcotized = narcotize (transparent) = narcotic + ize + ed

Formed by the verb 'narcotize' + '-ed'; the verb itself is transparently derived from 'narcotic' + '-ize'.

Etymology

Narcotized comes from a Greek root nark- meaning 'numbness' or 'stupor'. You can see the same root in narcotic, so to be narcotized is to be made 'numb' or 'very drowsy' by drugs.
