Morphology

seven-membered = seven + member (transparent) = seven + member + ed

Built from the clear compound 'seven' + 'member' with the adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having seven members'.

Etymology

The word seven-membered is made from seven (the number 'seven'), member ('part'), and the ending -ed ('having'). So a seven-membered ring is simply something 'having' seven parts or atoms, like a chemical ring with seven atoms.
