Morphology

wooded = wood (transparent) = wood + ed

The adjective 'wooded' is transparently derived from the noun 'wood', indicating an area covered with trees.

Etymology

Wooded comes from the simple word wood, which means 'trees', plus the ending -ed that here means 'covered with' or 'having'. So wooded describes land that is 'covered with trees'.
