Morphology

volumed = volume (transparent) = volume + ed

Direct formation from 'volume' (book) + -ed indicating 'having or consisting of volumes', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Volumed comes from the word volume, from Latin volumen 'a roll' that later meant 'a book' or one part of a set. So a 'three-volumed' or 'six-volumed' work simply means it is made of that number of separate books or volumes.
