Morphology

tubed = tube (transparent) = tube + d

The adjective 'tubed' is transparently derived from the noun 'tube' by adding the suffix '-d', indicating the presence of a tube.

Etymology

Tubed comes from the common word tube, which means a long, round 'pipe' or 'hollow tube' that can 'hold air'. So a tubed tire is one that has an inner tube to keep the air inside, unlike a tubeless tire.
