Surface Forms

Morphology

scheduled = schedule (transparent) = schedule + ed

Formed by adding the past-participial/adjectival suffix '-ed' to the verb 'schedule', producing the regular adjectival meaning 'planned/arranged'.

Etymology

Scheduled comes from an old Latin word schedula, which meant a 'small slip of paper' or note used to make lists of times and events. So when something is scheduled, it has been put on that list for a set time, which is why it is 'planned to happen at that time'.
