Morphology
sissified = sissify (transparent) = sissy + ify + ed
Derived from 'sissify' (sissy + -ify) with the regular past-participial/adjectival '-ed', so the meaning 'made to be sissy' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Sissified comes from sissy, a childish form of sis meaning 'sister', and the ending -ified, which means 'made into', as in beautified. So sissified means 'made to seem feminine' and is often used as an insult to call someone weak.
