Morphology

thonged = thong (transparent) = thong + ed

Meaning is directly derived from the noun 'thong' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', so learners who know 'thong' can infer 'thonged' as 'wearing a thong'.

Etymology

Thonged comes from the old English word thong, which meant a 'thin strip' or 'strap' of leather. So, because underwear called a thong is made from that thin strip, thonged means 'wearing a very narrow piece' of underwear that leaves much of the buttocks exposed.
