Morphology

sized = size (transparent) = size + d

The word 'sized' is transparently formed from the noun 'size' with the addition of the suffix '-d' to create an adjective indicating having a specified size.

Etymology

The word sized comes from size, which originally meant 'measure' or a 'fixed amount'. So when we say 'family-sized' or 'pocket-sized' we mean 'made to that measure'.
