Morphology
pedunculated = pedunculate (semi-transparent) = peduncle + ate + ed
Formation is regular (peduncle → pedunculate → pedunculated), but the base 'peduncle' is specialist vocabulary, so the relation is not fully obvious to an average learner.
Etymology
Pedunculated comes from the Latin pedunculus, which means 'little foot' and uses the root ped- 'foot', the same root you see in pedal. Imagine the stalk as a little foot that holds a flower or a growth. That's why pedunculated means 'attached by a stalk'.
