Morphology

toed = toe (transparent) = toe + ed

The word 'toed' is transparently derived from 'toe' with the addition of the suffix '-ed', indicating possession or a characteristic related to toes.

Etymology

Toed comes from toe, the small part of your foot, plus the ending -ed, which here means 'having'. So toed means 'having' toes, as in web-toed or five-toed.
