Morphology

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

Formed from 'seed' (a technical computing noun) + '-ed'; morphologically regular but relies on a specialized technical meaning of 'seed' that not all learners know.

Etymology

The word seeded in computing comes from seed, meaning a small 'start' put in to begin something. So a seeded database or system has a few initial records added so it is ready to use or test.
