Morphology

tenanted = tenant (semi-transparent) = tenant + ed

Formally derived from 'tenant' + '-ed', but the computing/customer-hosting sense is a specialized metaphor that may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

The word tenanted comes from the old Latin root tenere meaning 'to hold', and in tech the same image helps: each customer 'holds' their own space inside a shared system. So a tenanted service is one where many customers share the same system while keeping their own data and settings separate.
