Morphology

nominated = nominate (transparent) = nominate + ed

Formed by adding the past-participial/adjectival '-ed' to the verb 'nominate'; the meaning is directly derived and predictable.

Etymology

Nominated comes from the Latin root nomen meaning 'name'. To nominate is to 'name' someone for a job or award, so a nominated person is someone who has been officially 'named' for that role.
