Morphology
turbocharged = turbocharge (transparent) = turbo + charge + ed
Directly formed from 'turbo' + 'charge' -> 'turbocharge' with the literal technical meaning, then inflected to 'turbocharged'.
Etymology
Turbocharged for engines comes from the device called a turbo, a fast-spinning fan that pushes more air into the engine, and charge, meaning 'to give power'. So a turbocharged engine has more power and speed because the turbo helps it work harder.
