Morphology

vegetated = vegetate (transparent) = vegetate + ed

The adjective is a straightforward past-participial/ adjectival form of 'vegetate' meaning 'covered with plants', which B1 learners can infer from the base verb plus -ed.

Etymology

The word vegetated comes from the Latin root veget- meaning 'lively' or 'growing', the same root you see in vegetable. So a vegetated area is 'made lively' by plants and is covered with plant growth.
