Morphology

outfitted = outfit (transparent) = outfit + ed

Adjectival past-participle formed by adding the regular -ed to the verb 'outfit', so the meaning 'provided with equipment' is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

The word outfitted comes from the parts out- and fit, like the everyday word outfit for clothes; fit here means 'make ready' and out- gives the idea of giving or supplying. So, to be outfitted is to be given the clothes or equipment you need for a task.
