Morphology

nourished = nourish (transparent) = nourish + ed

Formed from the verb 'nourish' with the regular past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Nourished comes from an old Latin word nutrire meaning 'to feed', and it is the same root behind familiar words like nutrition and nurse. So, to be nourished is to have the food and care you need to grow and stay healthy.
