Morphology

sweetened = sweeten (transparent) = sweet + en + ed

Formed from 'sweet' -> 'sweeten' -> 'sweetened'; the past-participle/adjectival meaning is the regular result of adding '-en' then '-ed'.

Etymology

Sweetened comes from the simple word sweet 'tasting like sugar' and the ending -en that means 'make', like in shorten or soften. So a sweetened drink or food is one that has been 'made sweet' by adding sugar or another sweetener.
