Morphology
subjugated = subjugate (transparent) = sub + jug + ed
Formed by adding the past-participle suffix '-ed' to the verb 'subjugate', so the adjective meaning is directly derived from the verb.
Etymology
The word subjugated comes from the Latin parts sub- 'under' and jugum 'yoke'. So, to be subjugated is like being put under a yoke, forced into another's control and made to obey.
