Surface Forms

striped positive

Morphology

striped = stripe (transparent) = stripe + ed

Formed by the standard adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' added to the noun 'stripe', so the meaning is transparently 'having stripes'.

Etymology

The word striped comes from the simple word stripe, which is related to strip meaning 'a long, thin piece' of cloth or color. So striped means 'having long, thin bands', like a striped towel or a cat with stripes.
