Morphology

tree-lined = tree + line (transparent) = tree + line + ed

The adjective is clearly formed from 'tree' + the past-participial adjective 'lined' (from 'line'), meaning 'having lines of trees', which B1 learners can readily infer.

Etymology

The word tree-lined is made from tree and lined, meaning 'rows of trees'. Think of trees standing like a line along a road or path, and you see why tree-lined describes a street or avenue with trees on both sides.
