Surface Forms

scented positive

Morphology

scented = scent (transparent) = scent + ed

Formed by the regular addition of '-ed' to 'scent' meaning 'having or treated to have a smell'; the meaning is directly inferable for learners.

Etymology

Scented comes from the word scent, which goes back to the Latin sentire, meaning 'to feel' or 'to sense'. Think of a smell as a kind of feeling for your nose, so scented means having a noticeable, often pleasant, smell.
