Morphology

seeded = seed (semi-transparent) = seed + ed

Although morphologically regular (verb + -ed), this sense uses 'seed' in a somewhat opposite sense (to remove seeds), which can confuse learners expecting 'seeded' to mean 'containing seeds'.

Etymology

The word seeded can also come from the verb to seed, which has been used both for 'putting in seeds' and for 'taking seeds out'. A helpful way to remember this is that when fruit is seeded here, it often means the seeds have been removed so it is easier to eat.
