Morphology

pumped-up = pump up (transparent) = pump + up + ed

Formed from the phrasal verb 'pump up' with the regular past-participle suffix '-ed'; the adjectival meaning 'excited/energized' follows directly from the verb.

Etymology

Pumped-up comes from the image of a pump that fills a tire or ball with air. So, to be pumped-up is to be like something 'filled' with energy and excitement, ready to move.
