Morphology

stimulated = stimulate (transparent) = stimulate + ed

The adjective is the past-participle/‑ed form of the verb 'stimulate', so the meaning 'made to feel excited or aroused' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word stimulated comes from the Latin root stimulus, which means 'a poke' or 'a push'. So, to be stimulated is to be 'poked' into action or feeling excited, like when lively music or a great talk gives you energy.
