Morphology

truffled = truffle (transparent) = truffle + ed

Formed from the noun 'truffle' with the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having or flavoured with truffles', which a B1 learner can infer.

Etymology

Truffled comes from truffle, which goes back to the Latin word tuber meaning 'lump' or 'swelling', like a round, potato-like growth under the ground. That's why truffled means 'with truffles' or 'flavored with truffles'.
