Morphology

appendaged = appendage (transparent) = appendage + ed

Formed from the noun 'appendage' with the adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having appendages', which a typical learner can derive from the base.

Etymology

Appendaged comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and pendere 'to hang', and is related to familiar words like pendant and suspend. So an appendaged creature has extra parts, like limbs or feelers, that seem to 'hang on' to its main body.
