Morphology

tendrilled = tendril (transparent) = tendril + ed

Derived from the verb 'tendril' (converted from the noun) plus past/participle '-ed', so the relation to the base is clear.

Etymology

Tendrilled comes from tendril, from an old root meaning 'to stretch', the same idea in words like extend. So, when a plant tendrilled, it climbed or attached itself by sending out small curling threads that wrapped around supports.
