smoothened positive

Morphology

smoothened = smoothen (transparent) = smooth + en + ed

The adjective form is the past participle of 'smoothen' formed by regular -ed, which directly means 'made smooth'.

Etymology

Smoothened comes from the common word smooth, meaning 'even' or 'not rough', plus the verb ending -en meaning 'to make' and the past ending -ed. So smoothened literally means 'made smooth', as when you iron, rub, or polish something to remove wrinkles or bumps.
