Morphology

worshipped = worship (transparent) = worship + ed

Formed by standard past-participle/adjectival -ed from the verb 'worship', giving a meaning directly derived from the base.

Etymology

Worshipped comes from old English parts worth ('worthy') and -ship ('state' or 'quality'), so it first meant giving honour to someone seen as worthy. That's why to be worshipped is to be deeply admired or loved, almost as if you were a god.
