Morphology

well-branched = branched (transparent) = well + branch + ed

The meaning is directly derived from 'well' + 'branched' (i.e., 'having branches to a good degree'), a straightforward adverb + past-participle compound.

Etymology

The word well-branched is made from well ('good' or 'full') and branch ('an arm of a tree'), so it gives the picture of a tree with many healthy arms. That's why a well-branched plant has lots of strong branches and a full shape.
