Morphology

wearied = weary (transparent) = weary + ed

Regular past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'weary', so the meaning 'tired' is directly derived from the base.

Etymology

Wearied comes from the same root as weary, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of being 'worn out', like clothes worn thin by long use. So, someone who is wearied is very tired after a lot of work or effort.
