Morphology

stemmed = stem (semi-transparent) = stem + ed

Formed as the past participle of the verb 'to stem' (transitive, 'remove the stem'); learners who only know the noun 'stem' may not automatically infer this action sense.

Etymology

Stemmed can also mean that the stem has been taken off a fruit or plant, like when you remove the little stalk from a cherry or strawberry. So 'stemmed' fruit are ready to eat or cook because their stems are removed.
